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 same day you use it or buy the mini guacamole cups to serve with your fajita bowls.

Notes

Meal prep bowls can be made ahead of time.
You can substitute any of the vegetables as per your preference.
For added flavor, marinate the chicken strips with the seasoning for a couple of hours before cooking.
