Chicken Fajitas are usually the healthiest item on a Mexican food menu. Home made and this way is even healthier and far more fresh!
Today I rubbed the chicken breast generously with Lawry's Carne Asada seasoning prior to throwing it on the grill. I also prepared the veggies as the charcoal was heating up by hitting them with black pepper and drizzling a little olive oil on them so they don't stick on the grill.
Once the grill was ready, I grilled the chicken to my liking. As it was nearing the finish, I then put the bell peppers and onions on the grill for about 5 minutes. I pulled them once they had a light char and grill marks. Be careful and pay close attention... the peppers turn completely black quickly if you're not paying attention! But done right, that char adds a whole new world of flavor.
The finished product pictured is the grilled chicken, grilled peppers and onions on romain lettuce leafs instead of a tortilla. I topped one with home made salsa and the other with home made guac. Very healthy. Very fresh. Very good! Check the Sides portion of the Healthy Eating link on how to make the guac and salsa!
