Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, in thin strips
3 cups liquid egg whites
2 bell peppers, sliced
½ onion, sliced
½ can black beans, rinsed and warmed
½ cup chunky salsa
1 avocado, sliced
6 tbsp shredded Mexican-blend cheese
a handful of cilantro, chopped
1 lime

From your pantry: 1 tbsp oil, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt.

Instructions

Toss the chicken with the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, ¾ tsp salt and the juice of half the lime.
Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in one layer until browned and cooked through, 165°F, 5 to 6 minutes. Move to a plate.
Add the peppers and onion to the pan and cook until softened and charred at the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan.
Push everything to one side, lower the heat to medium-low, add the rest of the oil and pour the egg whites into the empty side with a pinch of salt. Stir gently until just set, 3 to 4 minutes, then fold everything together.
Spoon the black beans into 4 bowls, top with the fajita scramble, cheese, salsa, avocado and cilantro, and serve with the remaining lime in wedges.

Tip: Don't crowd the chicken. Strips that touch steam instead of browning, so cook in two batches if your skillet is small.
