Fajitas, Fajitas, Fajitas




Enjoy fajitas much, well this is my favorite Mexican meal and I'm going to tell you how to make a quick and easy dinner!  This is my sinless dinner!  It's so yummy and tastes to good to be good for you!  With my quick and easy pico de gallo recipe you don't need all the fattening add on's like sour cream and cheese!  However, I do have a few add on's that are easy switches if you like those textures and tastes!

PREP TIME: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
Chicken Breast cut into strips ( 1lb for 2-3 people)
NY Strip or Sirloin Strip cut into strips ( 1 lb. for 2-3 people)
1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange bell peppers cut into thin strips
1 fresh jalapeno diced (leave this out if you don't like spicy food)
Mrs. Dash EXTRA SPICY seasoning to flavor
Mrs. Dash SOUTHWEST CHIPOTLE seasoning to flavor
Cholula Original Seasoning to flavor
1 lime (zest and then cut into two halves)
extra virgin olive oil
1 white onion (cut in half and cut in strips save the other half for pico de gallo)
1/2 clove minced garlic

Pico De Gallo
5 Roma Tomatoes (Roma tomatoes are the easiest to dice into cupes)
fresh cilantro chopped
half of the lime
half of white onion diced
salt to taste

Toppings & Tortillas
La Tortilla Factory corn tortillas or flour tortillas
Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream
Laughing Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle Light (35 calories)

Cooking Directions:  Heat OIL on medium heat and add chicken and beef strips (do not over heat the oil because you loose a lot of nutrients by doing this).  Sautee meat for about a minute to two minutes uncovered and then add all your veggies.  I like to turn my heat to medium and cover the skillet while the meat and veggies cook. 
While the Fajita mix is cooking start dicing your roma tomatoes, white onion, and chopping the cilantro.  **Make sure to check and stir your fajita mix while doing this step**  Mix the tomatoes, cilantro, and onions together and squeeze the lime into the pico and add salt to taste!  Thats it for the Pico!!
Going back to the fajita mix add in your lime zest and sqeeze the half of the lime into the meat mixture.  Make sure the chicken has no pink in it and the beef is cooked to your preference.
Spread the Queso Fresco & Chipotle Laughing Cow cheese spread first onto your tortilla and add your favorite fajita toppings!
ENJOY!
