  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 cups brown rice

Method
 

  1. First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need the chicken fajitas, pinto or black beans, Mexican cheese blend, and brown rice. Having everything prepped will make the process smoother.
  2. Next, take a large mixing bowl and combine the first three ingredients: the chicken, beans, and cheese. Stir gently until well mixed, allowing the flavors to blend together.
  3. Now, it’s time to serve. Take half a cup of the cooked brown rice and place it in each serving bowl. This will serve as the hearty base of your meal.
  4. Top the rice with half a cup of the fajita mixture you created in the previous step. Make sure to distribute it evenly across the rice for the best flavor combination.
  5. Finally, you can garnish with fresh herbs or additional cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl!
