HER FAJITAS MAKE US CRAZY! (Mama Bee Cooks)

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is a plant-based protein option, while chicken thighs are less expensive than breasts.

Rinse the chicken breasts under water.

Cut the chicken into strips, not too thick or too thin.

Trim off any excess fat from the chicken.

In a bowl, mix half a teaspoon each of ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and chili powder with salt and pepper to season the chicken.

Massage the spices into the chicken to ensure even coating.

Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the chicken in the skillet until done, about 10 minutes, checking to ensure it is fully cooked without raw parts.

Chop colorful bell peppers and onion into strips, removing the seeds and white parts from the peppers.

Add the chopped peppers and onion to the skillet with salt and pepper, cooking for about 10 minutes until tender but still crunchy.

Combine the cooked chicken with the peppers and onions in the skillet.

Prepare toppings: slice lettuce, avocados, and tomatoes; prepare sour cream.

Heat whole wheat and sundried tomato tortillas in the microwave or in foil in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

Assemble the fajitas by placing chicken, peppers, and onions in the tortillas, adding toppings like sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
