  1. Add the fajita seasoning, half the olive oil and lime juice to a small mixing bowl, then whisk to combine.

  6. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Lime Cilantro Cauliflower Rice.
  7. Add in the bell peppers, onions, salt and ground black pepper. Sauté until tender.
  8. Slice the chicken into strips and add them to a bowl, along with the cauliflower rice, peppers, onions, sliced avocado and the (optional) salsa and sour cream. Garnish with the fresh chopped cilantro and serve.
