Since we've gotten married, we have really been trying to eat healthy while at home. Vacation eating is a whole other story ;) One of my favorite weeknight recipes would definitely have to be these chicken fajitas. Not only are they easy to make, they get us eating veggies that we normally wouldn't.
Easy Weeknight Fajita Tostada:
1 lb chicken breast (cut into strips)
1 red pepper (cut into thin strips)
1 green pepper (cut into thin strips)
1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
juice of 1 lime
juice of 1 lemon
salt/pepper
1/4 c water
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chipotle powder
corn tortillas
1. Place season chicken, onions and red/green pepper in large bowl with salt/pepper, cumin, chipotle powder, chili powder, garlic powder.
2. Add lemon and lime juice. Cover and chill for 15-30 minutes (
if you are in a hurry you can just cook it right away).
3. Place the chicken and vegetables on a skillet with under medium heat. Add water.
4. Let simmer until cooked all the way through. Stir around occasionally.
This next step is if you want to make your corn tortillas crispy the healthy way:
5. While chicken is cooking, heat over to 425. Thinly spread vegetable oil and salt around both sides of tortilla. Place on baking sheet for about 15 minutes until crisp.
Once the chicken and tortillas are done, you may enjoy! We like to add chopped lettuce, cheese, salsa, more lime, and sometimes even guacamole. We do not eat them like traditional fajitas, we eat them on top of the crispy tortillas, similar to mini pizzas.
Enjoy! Next week I'll be introducing a new healthy system we found and are dying to try out! Have a blessed weekend.
