Combine fajita seasoning with olive oil and lime juice. Add chicken strips and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, then let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add cauliflower rice. Cook until moisture is gone and rice is slightly crispy. Remove from heat, squeeze in lime juice, and mix in chopped cilantro.
In another skillet, heat oil over medium-low and cook chicken strips for 3u20134 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced peppers and onions. Cook until soft and tender, about 6u20138 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and stir with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 2u20133 minutes to warm through.
If using black beans, add them to the skillet and cook just until heated through.
Assemble bowls with a base of shredded lettuce, then add cauliflower rice, chicken, peppers, onions, and black beans if using.
Top with cherry tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro mayo, and fresh chopped cilantro.
