21 Day Fix Extreme Recipe: Chicken/Shrimp Fajitas 



I am seriously loving all of the recipes in the Fix Extreme book! We made the chicken fajita recipe and actually substituted the chicken for shrimp and it was AMAZING!! I love to make extra so I can have some for lunch too! You can use lettuce leaves for shells , or if you are using a yellow for dinner you can mix with rice or use tortillas/shells!

If using shrimp I do not marinate with the veggies since the shrimp only takes a couple of minutes to cook. Marinate the veggies, cook them to your liking then add the shrimp. The shrimp will take on all of the seasoning!

This recipe makes 4 servings and 2 fajitas each

Ingredients:
1tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp olive oil, divided, use
4 (5-6oz) raw chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into 1/2 in strips
1 medium red or green red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
8 large romaine (or butter) lettuce leaves
1/2 medium avocado, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh salsa
lime wedge for garnish optional

Directions:
Combine chili powder, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and 1 tsp oil in large resealable plastic bag.

Add chicken, bell pepper, and onion; mix gently to coat.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Empty contents of bag into skilled; cook stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Remove from heat.  Add lime juice.

Evenly top lettuce leaves with chicken mixture, avocado and salsa.
Garnish with lime wedges if desired.

Containers:  2 Green, 1/2 purple, 1 red, 1/2 blue
