Last night I made fajitas but instead of using tortillas I used large iceberg lettuce leaves and they were awesome!
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- Red and green bell peppers
- Onion
- Olive oil
- Mexican spices (I use salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and taco seasoning)
- Iceberg lettuce (or tortillas if you're making regular fajitas)
- Toppings: fat free sour cream, 2% shredded mexican blend cheese, tomatoes, avocado
Directions:
- Chop about 1/3 cup of each (or about half of each) of your red and green peppers and onion into bite size pieces/strips
- Rinse chicken breasts and cut into bite size pieces
- Coat the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, and turn burner on to medium/medium-high
- Place chicken cubes in pan sauté the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side
- Once chicken is white on all sides add your peppers and onions
- Add seasoning. (Salt, pepper, tiny dash of cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, and a little bit of taco seasoning from one of those packets. Use what you like!)
- Sauté mixture for about an additional 10 minutes (make sure the internal temp reached 165 degrees), turning the fajita mixture often to cook evenly.
- Now build your fajitas...
- Place a scoops of your mixture into 2-3 layered lettuce leaves
- Add shredded cheese, 1/4 sliced small avocado, diced tomato, and a dollop of fat free sour cream
- Eat like a taco and enjoy!
I should have put my cheese on after the fajita mixture so it'd melt/be prettier but i forgot, but you get the idea. So good!!
