I LOVE mexi food, I mean totally love it. The problem with US mexi resturants is the food tends to be loaded with salt, which is why the hubs and I don't go often. A friend of mine who is married to a great guy from Mexico, gave me the following recipe for a healthy fajita meal.

1 large chicken breast cut into strips

1 large onion cut into strips

1 large pepper cut into strips

1 teaspoon of cumin

dash of lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

In a skilled I put a little canola oil let it get warm, add the onion and peppers - sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. When the the onion has begun to turn transluncent move the veggies to one side and add the chicken to the other. Cook for a min, then stir and add the cumin. Allow to cut until the chicken is almost done and add lime juice- a touch more salt/pepper if wanted.

Along with this I fixed refried Beans.

In a skilled with a touch of oil I cooked a diced onion and 3 cloves of grated garlic- when that was almost done I added a can of fat free, low sodium refried beans and flated them down. Add a half a can of Water and stir. Once mixed well, sprinke with low fat cheese.

This recipe serves 4 people and is sooooo good. I just eat the faijta mixed on top of my beans and don't eat a shell- to cut the carbs.

If you try this let me know if you like.

Uck... the chicken part sound good, but I can't eat refried beans. They don't like me! LOL Thanks for the recipe!

I use to hate refried beans to, but then a friend fixed them this way and I learn to like them. They aren't as "glopie" fixed this way. Great flavor and the texture is much better than at most resturants. I never order them any where I will only eat my own and my friends.

Sounds good! I'll definitely be trying it in the weeks to come!
