Chop 5g of cilantro and add it to the bowl.

Squeeze juice from one lime into the guacamole mixture and add a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then mix everything together.

For the fajita mix, combine 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili in a bowl.

Add half of the fajita mix to the diced onions and bell peppers, and mix well with clean hands.

Add the remaining fajita mix to 1 kilo of sliced chicken breasts and mix well with clean hands.

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Add 2 cups of brown rice to the boiling water and cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions and bell peppers, and let them sit for about 1 minute to build a crust before mixing.
