Rice
- If you haven't already, cook the rice according to the instructions on rice package.
- When rice is finished, remove from heat and add 3 tablespoons of butter, 1 TBSP of the cilantro, and 2 tablespoons juice from half of a lime; and mix until butter is melted throughout. Set aside.
Veggies
- Heat olive oil in pan and add bell pepper, and red onion, and saute for 4-5 minutes. Then, add the mushrooms, garlic, cumin, chilli powder, paprika, sea salt and rest of lime juice( should be about 4 ounces, save some for last if you want to squeeze over everything at the end) to the bell peppers and red onion.
- Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes (depending on how crisp or soft you like your veggies), then remove from heat and set aside.
- Divide the rice among 4 bowls and top with fajita veggies, avocado, extra lime juice and chopped cilantro.
