Fajita... in a Bowl!!!

It looked much better before we ate it all :(

The other day for dinner I was planning on making pizza.  I got my husband all worked up about it while he was at work and I told him it would be ready when he got home, but then, I had to text him with some bad news.  “We have no dough.”  He was very disappointed and I had to think of a dish that could make it up to him.  So I tried a new recipe: Chicken Fajita Bowls!!! (minus the chicken of course)  They were delicious.  I was a little worried at first because it smelled more like a chili than a Mexican dish, but it definitely tasted perfect.  I was on the phone with my mom so the only photo I was able to get was of Dan’s 2 bites away from being finished (sorry).  The recipe is kind of… not well put together.  I’m not sure about the exact amounts I used, but really just do everything to your taste.  I also added my left over fajita vegetables from when we went out to eat the other night.

Ingredients:

• 1 large can crushed tomatoes (the large cans should equal about 2 cups)
• 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can corn (I didn’t use this in mine but I really think it would be good)
• 2 bell peppers diced or cut into strips
• 1/2 medium onion, diced
• garlic powder (to taste)
• 1 tsp cumin

• 2 cups white rice, cooked

• ¼-1/2 cup chopped cilantro

• Tortilla chips (baked for me and regular for the hubby)

Toppings (your choice):

• Fat free Cheddar cheese

• Fat free Mozzarella cheese

• Fat free sour cream

• Salsa

• 1 avocado (cut into 1 inch cubes)

• Lettuce

Combine tomatoes, beans, corn, peppers, onions, garlic powder, and cumin in large skillet and cook on medium heat until veggies are cooked to your liking.  Stir cilantro into rice.  I served it as a layer of rice topped with some tortilla chips, next fajita mix and then some cheese and then a little more fajita mix (to help melt the cheese).   Now top with the toppings and ENJOY!!!
