#380: Healthy Chicken Fajitas


Here's another yummy, easy recipe from SkinnyTaste.  We love chicken fajitas, and this recipe is certainly no exception and will be on our semi-regular dinner rotation (okay let's be honest, it'll be at least six weeks before it gets back on the menu).  :)

16 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into small, bite-size pieces)

1 bell pepper, cut into strips
1 poblano chile, cut into strips (I omitted)
1 onion, cut into strips
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp garlic powder
ancho chile powder or chipotle chili powder, to taste
(I used regular chili powder) salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
4 low fat, low carb tortillas

Marinate the chicken with lime juice, and season with chile powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.  

Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil.  Saute chicken, peppers and onion until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are crisp tender.  (I did this in two separate pans). 

Warm a tortilla, add chicken and peppers, and any desired toppings.  (I used shredded cheese, tomatoes, and sour cream).


Serve immediately with tortilla and toppings.
