1 Tbsp olive oil 15g
1 Tbsp taco seasoning
1 cup black beans drained and rinsed (140g)
1/2 cup reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese 56g
Fresh ground pepper for topping optional
Pico de gallo for topping optional

1/2 cup cooked rice 70g
1/2 cup sautéed peppers 55g
1/4 cup black beans 35g

Instructions

Make Fajita Peppers: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and taco seasoning; stir frequently and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble for Now: Heat the carnitas and rice in the microwave until warm. In a large bowl, add the lettuce and top with rice, carnitas, black beans, fajita veggies, and cheese. Dollop with sour cream, fresh Pico De Gallo, guacamole, and all your other favorite toppings as desired!
