Ingredients
  

For the chicken marinade:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 2 limes

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

For the fajita vegetables:

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the bowls:

2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa or pico de gallo

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for best flavor.

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.

      While the chicken is grilling, toss the sliced bell peppers and onions in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred, stirring occasionally.

        Prepare the bowls: Start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with a portion of black beans, corn, grilled chicken (sliced), grilled vegetables, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.

          Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Add any optional toppings as desired for an extra burst of flavor.

            Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Grilled Chicken Fajita Bowls!
