Instructions

In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, olive oil, lime juice, and all the fajita seasonings. Toss to coat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and cook the peppers and onions for 5–7 minutes, until tender and slightly charred.
Assemble each bowl with a scoop of rice, black beans, corn, cooked chicken, peppers, and onions.
Top with salsa, cheese, avocado, and any other desired toppings. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

You can swap the chicken for steak, shrimp, or tofu.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days – great for meal prep!
