Even though I am not technically calling this a “Slimmed Down Sensation” it is a healthy low-fat dish and it’s definitely not lacking in the flavor department. This recipe is a little different from other Fajita recipes that I’ve come across which require a marinade. This one is like the pre-packaged mixes you get at the grocery store…only better because you know exactly what is going into it and there is not as much sodium.
This is a great weeknight meal that tastes great, but requires little effort….guaranteed to please the entire family.
Prepare the seasoning mix ahead of time and pull it out when you need a quick meal!
