Throw together this flavorful chicken fajita quinoa bowl for a hearty and healthy lunch or dinner.

Here is another one of my favorite feel good meals lately. Chicken fajitas are generally super quick and simple to throw together, and when you serve that on top of some cooked quinoa, you get a one-bowl healthy meal that is not at all shy of some fabulous bold flavors.

You can use store bought taco seasoning, but I highly recommend making your own because you can control the amount of salt and adjust the spices according to your preferences.
