Chicken Fajita Burrito Bowls
Chicken Fajita Burrito Bowls assemble cooked, seasoned chicken with sautéed bell peppers, onions, corn, tomatoes, and cooked rice to create a customizable, layered meal bowl. The fajita seasoning mix adds classic Mexican-inspired flavors with chili powder, cumin, and garlic. The soft cooked rice forms the base, while sautéed vegetables provide tender texture and fresh flavor. This bowl is versatile and suits make-ahead meal preparation because the chicken and rice can be cooked in advance.

Notes
- Cook the rice and chicken ahead of time to prepare the bowls in about 30 minutes.

- Replace rice with cauliflower rice to make the dish paleo and Whole30 compliant.
