CATERING

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    If using chicken, beef, or shrimp, marinate in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder) for at least 30 minutes. If using tofu, press and cube it.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Cook 2 cups of rice according to package instructions, or prepare Lola's rice if you have the recipe.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Grill the Protein

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated protein for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  5. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same grill pan, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms for 5-8 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred.

    Assemble the Fajita Bowls

    In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice, black beans, smoked kernel corn, grilled protein, and sautéed vegetables.
