Meet your new go-to dinner recipe: chicken fajita bowls! They’re easy to make and super fast to cook since the rotisserie chicken cuts out a lot of work, and assembling your bowl always feels fun.

Are Fajita Bowls Healthy?

Fajita bowls are a great way to enjoy a complete and balanced meal of carbohydrates, protein, and fats, all of which provide lots of protein, fiber, and plenty of vitamins from colorful veggies.

If you’re on a low-carb diet, you can swap the rice for cauliflower rice and reduce the carbohydrate content of your meal.

Chicken Fajita Bowl Toppings

The best part of any bowl, outside that the chicken fajita tastes great, are the toppings, of course! You can load them up with:

  • Spicy guacamole
  • Restaurant-style salsa
  • Pico de Gallo
  • Grated cheese
  • Jalapeños
  • Fried eggs (oh.yeah!)
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Cilantro Lime Sauce
  • Sour cream
  • Chunky Avocado Salsa
  • Pineapple Salsa
  • Black Bean & Corn Salsa

Making Epic Chicken Fajita Bowls

Since we’re starting with a rotisserie chicken, a lot of the cooking and prep has already been done for you! Here is what to do:

  1. Cook the rice
    Cook the rice according to package directions. Alternatively, you can also make the base for your chicken fajita bowls with Spanish Cauliflower Rice.
  2. Prep the chicken
    Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken. Separate it into pieces or coarsely chop it into small pieces. If you don’t have a rotisserie chicken, you can also make this easy cubed chicken recipe.
  3. Sauté the peppers and onions
    In a large pan, heat up the oil. Add the onions and peppers and sauté for about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the taco seasoning, and stir to combine.
  4. Add the chicken to the pan
    To the peppers and onions, add the cooked chicken and combine it to heat it through. Add a tablespoon of water to create some steam in the pan, distribute the seasonings, and stir to combine.
  5. Assemble
    Build a base for your chicken fajita bowls with some rice, top it with the chicken and peppers mixture and load up the toppings.

Fajita Chicken Burrito Bowl Meal Prep

The best part about these fajita chicken burrito bowls is that they are a great recipe to meal prep up to four days ahead of time.

This means that you can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the store, clean it and separate the meat, cook the onions and peppers, and assemble your meal prep bowls individually.

Refrigerate them, covered, for up to four days, and you’ll have a healthy meal on the go!

One tip is to pack sauces and ingredients you don’t want to heat up, like sour cream and guacamole, in separate small lidded containers.
