Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

3. Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices and cook for another minute until fragrant.

6. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), and cooked brown rice to the skillet. Stir to combine.

7. Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet and mix everything together.

8. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the flavors have melded together, and the dish is heated through.

10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the fajita bake in individual bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
