– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon chipotle seasoning (or to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 bell pepper (any color)
– 1 medium onion

Instructions

Creating Chipotle Chicken Fajita Bowls is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips.
2. Marinate: In a mixing bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Slice the Vegetables: Cut the bell pepper and onion into thin slices.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Prepare the Bowls: In individual serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice (or cauliflower rice) as the base.
7. Add Chicken Mixture: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice in each bowl.
8. Top It Off: Add black beans, avocado slices, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the chicken.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
10. Serve: Optionally, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and your favorite salsa as toppings.
