Bean Fajita Bowls with creamy Avocado & Coriander Sauce

Everything taste better in a bowl in my opinion! It's kinda my thing!I adore all things Mexican, and frequently do bean based nachoes and wraps, but this easy and flavor packed fajita bowl is a total winner.  The avocado and coriander dressing really contrasts so beautifully with the harrisa spiced beans and capsicum. If you're lucky, you'll have leftovers for lunch the next day, as they're even more delicious then!
