Prepare Fajita Seasoning:

In a small jar, add red chili powder, pink salt, garlic powder, black pepper powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, and paprika powder. Shake well to combine and your fajita seasoning is ready!

Prepare Chicken Fajita Rice:

In a bowl, add rice and water, wash thoroughly, and soak for 1 hour. Then, strain the soaked rice and set aside. In a pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Add pink salt, mix well, and add the soaked rice. Boil until 3/4 done (about 6-8 minutes), then strain and set aside.

In a wok, heat cooking oil, sauté garlic for a minute, then add chicken. Cook until the chicken changes color. Add tomato paste and chicken powder, mix well, and cook on medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Add onion, yellow bell pepper, capsicum, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the prepared fajita seasoning and mix. Then, add the boiled rice, turning off the flame, and mix in the lemon juice.

Prepare Fire Roasted Salsa:

Place grill rack on the stove and fire roast tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic until charred on all sides. In a mortar and pestle, add roasted garlic, jalapeno, onion, fresh coriander, pink salt, and crushed black pepper, then crush well. Add roasted tomatoes and crush again, mixing in lemon juice.

Serve the chicken fajita rice alongside the prepared salsa!
