21 Day Fix Extreme Chicken Fajitas

21 Day Fix Extreme Chicken Fajitas

 

 

Yes I know I’m in the middle of doing Insanity Max 30 however I came across this 21 day fix extreme recipe and had to try and of course share!!  We are in the middle of some home projects as well this week so life has seemed busy however finding the time to eat healthy is still very important to me if I eat crap I feel like crap.  This recipe took like 10 minutes (including prepping to cook) it’s simple and kid friendly.  Our kids did not eat the lettuce and just had the filling and added cheese to theirs.  My husband eats most of my clean eating meals for example this recipe he grabbed regular taco shells. Which works for me I’m still making one meal for the entire family just a few modifications.  Also this would be easy to make into steak or shrimp as well.  The leftover I just made a salad for lunch tomorrow and topped it off with the chicken filling.
