Do you crave some good Mexican-inspired food, but are you sick of the traditional fajitas? Or are you looking for a lighter, plant-based alternative that doesn’t involve the use of tortillas? My Veggie Fajita Bowls are perfect for you!

Made with soy curls and black beans, these vegan fajita bowls are easy and quick to make and are also a good way to consume whatever veggies you have left in your fridge. No waste of food with this delicious Mexican-inspired bowl!

Plus, these veggie fajita bowls are full of flavors and taste! Indeed, I came up with a phenomenal seasonings combination that will give a special twist to this veggie fajita bowl recipe. Tajin Classic Mexican seasoning, cumin, chili, paprika, and cayenne pepper are all you need to spice up this dish and have a healthy, yet super tasty Mexican-inspired dinner!

Optional, but highly suggested, is the addition of some lime wedges, guacamole, and hot sauce… but only if you can handle the spice 🌶️! In any case, you can just add some Greek – or soy – yogurt (excellent sour cream alternatives) to dampen the spiciness of the dish.

Last but not least, is the Chipotle-inspired cilantro lime rice! This is not only a great way to jazz up these vegan fajita bowls, but it is also the main carb source of this recipe. The result makes for a very healthy and well-balanced veggie fajita bowl, easier to digest, and that tastes extremely similar to the ones served at Chipotle!

Veggie Fajita Bowls: a balanced and versatile macro-bowl!

Let’s now check more in detail why these vegan fajita bowls are such a balanced and filling meal!

The great thing about this recipe is that it follows the same principles of a classic Buddha bowl (or nourish bowl/macro-bowl): a source of carbs, one of lean protein, lots of veggies, and some good healthy fats! The combination of all these essential macro and micro-nutrients allows you to eat a well-balanced, filling meal. Moreover, macro-bowls can be easily personalized according to your personal dietary requirements and health goals.

When it comes to my Veggie Fajita Bowl recipe, the carb source is the cilantro lime rice, the proteins come from the soy curls and the black beans, and the good fats from the avocado oil. Plus all the different veggies contained in the bowl provide not only loads of different minerals and vitamins, but also a good amount of fiber, which is essential to improve our digestion, and to feel overall healthier!
