Chicken Fajita Bowl

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp. TACO SEASONING BLEND
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Olive oil (divided)
1 package (10 ounces) Frozen red peppers (mixed onion and pepper is best)
8 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1/2 inch strips)
1 15 ounce can Canned no salt added black beans
1/2 cup Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Mix the salt-free taco seasoning and salt together in a small bowl.

Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the chicken, and cut the chicken into 1/4" strips.

Place in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the  seasoning and toss to coat evenly.

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, over medium high heat.

Once hot, add the chicken strips to the pan.

Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned and then turn the chicken over.

Once the chicken is turned, add the frozen peppers and the 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning blend.

Toss occasionally to finish cooking chicken and to heat and soften vegetables, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the drained beans to the pan, and cook until hot, stirring often.

Once hot, remove from heat.

Top each serving with optional toppings such as diced avocado, yogurt, or lime.

Serve hot.

Optional Toppings

1/2 each - Avocado, diced
1/2 each - Lime, cut into wedges
1/4 cup - Yogurt, Plain
