Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 packet (1 oz) fajita seasoning mix
1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced

1 cup cooked rice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa (mild or spicy)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes until softened.
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked rice, fajita seasoning, sour cream, salsa, sautéed veggies, and half the shredded cheeses. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden, melted, and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or an extra dollop of sour cream. Pair with tortilla chips, a fresh salad, or warm tortillas!
Pro Tip: Add some black beans, corn, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture!
