Chicken Fajita Burrito Bowls
An easy, colorful, delicious dinner from my new cookbook, Kid Kitchen, that kids can cook up and customize all by themselves.
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 orange or yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 large onion
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp mild chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
- 4 cups cooked white or brown rice I use a bag of frozen rice reheated in the microwave
- 1 ripe avocado cut into quarters and sliced
- 1 cup fresh salsa or diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves optional
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- any additional toppings you like, such as sliced olives, hot sauce, chopped onion/scallions...
Instructions
- Cut the peppers and onion into a small dice. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and salt.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced peppers and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the veggies begin to brown.
- Add the ground chicken, and use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into little bits. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the meat and veggies and continue to stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (no longer pink).
- To serve, spoon the chicken and veggies over the cooked rice in a bowl. Top with avocado, salsa, cilantro (if using), and a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
