Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss together 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the bell peppers, and the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until softened and slightly browned on the edges. Transfer the peppers and onions to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
  • While peppers and onions cook, whisk together 1 table spoon of the olive oil, the chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and thyme. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.Once peppers and onions are done cooking, add in the shrimp and cook for 8minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until shrimp is opaque.
  • While shrimp cooks, assemble the bowls. Peel, pit, and cube the avocado. Quarter the lime. Heat the remaining oil in a medium skillet and once oil is shimmering, add the black beans and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cooking, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until beans and corn are warmed through.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions. Divide into bowls. Top with black bean mixture, cooked shrimp and veggies, avocado, salsa, and romaine lettuce. Drizzle with sour cream or crema.
  • Serve with lime wedges.
