Chicken fajitas are one of the best choices when it comes to Mexican food because chicken is a lean protein and grilling is a healthy cooking method. Also, fajitas are topped with low-carb veggies like onions and green peppers.
Ingredients
Marinade
1 large lime, juiced
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Fajitas
2 green bell peppers, seeded and sliced into strips
1 large onion, sliced into strips
1 ¼ pounds chicken breast tenderloins
10 (6-inch) corn tortillas (or low-carb tortillas)
10 tablespoons salsa
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken breast tenderloins and marinate in the refrigerator for 20-60 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the onions and green peppers in a grill basket. Grill the vegetables in the basket, stirring occasionally, about 15-20 minutes until slightly charred.
Add the chicken directly to the grill and cook 10-12 minutes, until done, turning once.
Divide the chicken, green peppers and onions evenly among 10 tortillas. Top each fajita with 1 tablespoon salsa.
Dietitian Tip: If you don’t have a grilling basket, you can purchase one at your local superstore for a low price. It’s worth the purchase because it makes grilling vegetables a simple task!
