Super Filling Fajitas

These are good for all of you who are trying to lose weight. They have lots of fiber and you can eat a lot of food! I usually make a double batch and eat the leftovers for the rest of the week. If your kids don't like the peppers or onion, just cut them big, so that it is easier to pick out the chicken. Put a little cheese on top, and the kids are happy.

Buy a packet of McCormick's Fajita Seasoning Mix and follow the directions.

Ingredients required:
1 lb.Chicken
Olive Oil
1 onion
1 green pepper
8 flour tortillas (get the whole wheat or carb friendly)

I also add the following when it is time to add the water and seasoning:
1 can red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)

Put in warm tortillas and add Salsa or Pico (recipe below) and low fat sour cream on top. YUM!


PICO

8 roma tomatoes- chopped- get rid of watery seeds
1 white onion- finely chopped
3 or 4 limes - use the juice to taste
1/2 bunch of cilantro - de-stemmed and chopped, to taste
Salt-to taste

Cut the tomatoes first and then add as much onion as you can handle. Then add cilantro, salt and lime juice to taste. It is some good stuff!
