Easy, Healthier Fajitas

My best friend, Amy, told me how to make these simple, and more-healthy-than-your-typical fajitas. The veggies & meat are broiled instead of pan-seared in oil. I love making them because they are so easy, but you can give them some pizzazz & they'll impress your guests! 



Ingredients:
  • 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 Green bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 Medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • Whole baby portabello mushrooms, cut in half
  • 4 Cloves of garlic (small bulb)
  • 1/2 lb. Chicken breast tenders, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 lb. Beef, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (or just do 1 lb. chicken)
  • 1 Lime
  • Small sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Small flour tortillas
  • Badia fajita seasoning
  • Olive oil
Directions:

Arrange veggies on a foil-lined broiler pan or cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with fajita seasoning & drizzle with olive oil.  Broil on high for 6-8 minutes (about 4 inches under heat).

Arrange meat on a foil-lined broiler pan.  Sprinkle generously with fajita seasoning.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Broil on high for 5-7 minutes (about 4 inches under heat).

Serve with warm flour tortillas, lime wedges, and sour cream**. Make it look fancy by sprinkling some chopped fresh cilantro onto the cooked meat. :)

**I like to make a simple cilantro sour cream by mixing chopped fresh cilantro into sour cream.
Enjoy! ♥
