Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Fajita Chicken:

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup quinoa cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Pickled onions optional
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Cook Quinoa: Prepare quinoa as per package directions; set aside.
  • Season Chicken: In a bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss chicken strips in the spice mix until well coated.
  • Sauté Onions: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook Chicken: In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken strips. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Combine: Return the sautéed onions to the skillet with the chicken. Toss to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
  • Warm Beans: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the black beans, stirring occasionally.
  • Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top each with fajita chicken and onions, a scoop of warm black beans, sliced avocado, and pickled onions if using.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
