Equipment

Wok for cooking

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts cooked and chopped
2 large bell peppers
½ sweet onion
3 tablespoon coconut oil
4 cups rice cooked (about 1.5 cup uncooked)
4 tomatoes chopped
1 cup corn frozen or canned

Fajita Seasoning

2 tbs chili powder
1 tbs cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ tbs garlic granules
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Chop the bell peppers and onions into small strips.
In a large pan, heat one tablespoon of coconut oil slightly over medium heat.
Once hot, add in the peppers and onions. Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes.
Sprinkle ¾ of the seasoning over the peppers. Add in the corn (if using). Cook another two minutes tossing to coat.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Keep the pan on the burner and add remaining oil.
Place the chopped chicken and the remaining seasoning over the chicken and toss to coat (one to two minutes). Keep cooking until warmed through.
While the chicken is cooking, heat the rice either in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water over low to medium heat.
Assemble to bowls: place the rice on the bottom and top the bowl with corn, peppers, onions and chopped tomatoes. Finally, place the chicken on top.
Serve with your favorite cashew sour creme, lime juice, or kimchi.

Notes

If you’re short on time or spices, you can definitely use a store-bought taco or fajita mix.

Any cooked chicken you have in the fridge will work. Having the rice cooked in advance will save you time.

If storing the fajita bowls for lunch, do not store the toppings (like tomatoes) in the same container. Store them separately so that the bowls don't turn soggy.

Mix and match your toppings by adding avocados, homemade dressings, salsa, or kimchi.
