Who says fajitas have to be served with tortillas? This hearty, healthy rice bowl is an excellent meal prep idea!

1 cup of Solecito salsa
2 bell peppers, cut into thick strips
2 portobello mushrooms, sliced into thick strips
1 large white onion, sliced into thick rings
1.5 lb skinless, boneless chicken, sliced into strips OR 1 block firm tofu, sliced
2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Olive oil
1 cup cooked or canned lentils or beans
5 cups cooked rice (for serving)

In a small bowl combine chilli powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss the chicken or tofu until coated.
Note: if using tofu, make sure to press the water out before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high. Brush the peppers, mushrooms and onion with olive oil. Grill the vegetables, turning halfway through, until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove them to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken or tofu until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Divide the rice among bowls. Top with the chicken or tofu, vegetables, lentils or beans, and your choice of Solecito salsa.
