Fajita Quinoa Bowls-veggie fajitas, quinoa, and all of your favorite fajita toppings in one bowl! Love this easy and healthy one bowl recipe!

When I go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant I almost always order the veggie fajitas. I love them, but I don’t like how they make a scene. When they bring the fajitas out everyone in the restaurant stares because they want to see who ordered the sizzling fajitas. I am not one who likes any extra attention. I also hate how the fajitas take up the entire table. The hot skillet plate takes up a ton of room and then you have all of the toppings and tortillas. There is no room for anyone else or anything else at the table…and I especially don’t like it when the waiter or waitress tries to take away my chips and salsa to make room. Not a smart move. I need my chips and salsa!

I decided to solve the fajita problem by making Fajita Quinoa Bowls at home. That’s right, everything is in ONE bowl. There is no need for a big show or table. All of the goods are in one bowl!

Fajita Quinoa Bowls are easy to make and fun to eat. There are a lot of fun colors and flavors going on.

For the veggie fajita bowls, I use yellow, green, and red bell peppers. I also toss in some red onion and mushrooms. I spice things up with Old El Paso’s Fajita Seasoning and let the veggies sizzle. A bonus to making fajitas at home? The only person who was staring at me was Maxwell and I am ok with that. Those big baby blues are welcome to stare at me anytime:)

I think Maxwell wanted a taste though. I don’t blame him. Look at those beautiful, vibrant fajitas!

To create my Fajita Quinoa Bowls, I made Cilantro Lime Quinoa. It’s my fave! I put the veggies, quinoa, black beans, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice in one big bowl. So fresh and tasty…and all for me! I love that I didn’t have to share my bowl…even though Maxwell was begging for a bite. Someday I will let him have a taste:)

These Fajita Quinoa Bowls are super customizable too! Feel free to add your favorite toppings! They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or would be fun to serve at a party!
