In a large bowl whisk together the fajita seasoning with the olive oil. Prepare the chicken and the vegetables by slicing each into approximately equal sizes.

Gather five meal prep containers (see notes for my favorite) and your desired toppings.

First, add half a cup of cooked quinoa to each meal prep bowl, followed by approximately 1 cup of the prepared chicken fajitas and vegetables. Top with desired toppings such as fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.

Seal with a proper and tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
