Chicken Fajita Bowls

Step 1

Prepare avocado goat cheese sauce. Add avocado, goat cheese, lime juice and sea salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Add to a bowl and place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Step 2

Rinse and drain quinoa. Place water, salt and quinoa into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let pot sit, covered for 2-3 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork.

Step 3

While quinoa is cooking, get started cooking everything else. Heat a large skillet with 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add in garlic, onions, red and yellow bell pepper, salt and chili powder. Sauté until veggies are tender, but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to a plate.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, add chicken, lime juice, oil and seasonings (chili powder, garlic powder, cumin paprika, salt and pepper) and cook over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and internal temperature reads 165°F. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Once everything is cooked and dressing is prepped, make bowls by adding a base of quinoa, 1/4 of the chicken and 1/4 of the bell peppers. Add chopped romaine, pico de gallo or salsa and freshly chopped cilantro for serving. Drizzle on the avocado goat cheese sauce. To make it look really pretty you can add the sauce to a zip-lock baggie, cut the tip and squeeze the sauce over each bowl in a zigzag pattern. Add a little hot sauce (if using) and dig in!
