Base

Vegetables

Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Brown Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Cooking the Protein

  1. 2

    Cook Chicken

    While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season 1 lb of chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

Sautéing Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Peppers and Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and sliced onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 4

    Build Your Fajita Bowl

    In a bowl, start with a base of cooked brown rice. Top with sliced chicken, sautéed peppers, and onions. Add sliced avocado, a scoop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
