Scale
- 1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Fajita seasoning mix (1 packet)
- 6 Chicken thighs (boneless skinless, cut into thin strips)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- In a large bowl combine the sliced chicken strips and bell peppers. Toss with olive oil, garlic cloves, and fajita seasoning mix. Blend to make sure everything is well coated.
- Bake the fajitas on a rimmed sheet pan for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are beginning to soften, stir 1-2 times during baking.
- Serve the sheet pan chicken fajitas in a bowl with lettuce, cilantro, and other optional garnishes. Squeeze with lime juice, and serve with sliced avocado or guacamole.
- To assemble meal prep bowls, divide the chicken and vegetable fajita mix into 4 meal prep containers. Also add a portion of cauliflower rice, brown rice, and quinoa. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with chunky salsa, avocado slices or guacamole, and lime wedges.
- The meal prep bowls will last for up to 4 days in the fridge. Slice the avocado the day you use it or buy the mini guacamole cups to serve with your fajita bowls.
