YUMMY CHICKEN FAJITAS

This is a pretty easy dinner idea, and fajitas have everything you need for a balanced meal, so no need to have anything else. The marinade makes all the difference, adding special flavor to the meat. These are not hard at all. You can make the marinade a day or two ahead of time if you want, and just keep it in the fridge. Cut the veggies the night before. That doesn't leave much to do for the day of the meal. See what I mean? A snap.
And they really taste yummy. Use your favorite tortillas. (I like the low-carb tortillas.) Nowadays there are so many varieties, you really have your pick. Top the fajitas with store-bought salsa, shredded Monterey Jack Jalapeno cheese and chopped avocado or guacamole. These are a healthful and complete meal, and something you can feel good about eating. Sure beats an American cheeseburger for nutritional value.


If you haven't tried fajitas, now is your chance. It doesn't get any easier than this.
