The best part about tacos or fajitas isn't the doughy flour tortilla, but the savory spiced meat and refreshing toppings! Nothing beats cumin, garlic, and chili spiced chicken with fresh guacamole. With the addition of crisp iceberg and fresh diced tomatoes, you get all the flavors of a Mexican dish without the unnecessary grain or gluten filler. Served in iceberg lettuce wraps or as a salad, these chicken fajitas will completely satisfy your Mexican craving.
Ingredients:
1.5-2 pounds of free range chicken breast diced
1 package of organic gluten free fajita mix (Simply Organic brand is great)
1/2 can of petite diced tomatoes no salt added
1/2 onion diced
2 clove of fresh garlic minced
1 cup of water
Method:
1.) Saute onions in large pot (or Dutch oven). Meanwhile, add 1/2 tablespoon EV coconut oil to cast iron skillet. When hot, add in chicken, working in batches, and cook until browned.
2.) Add tomatoes with juice to pot. Bring to a simmer. Add in water, fajita mix and chicken. Stir, turn heat to low and cover.
