Way back when, I came across a really good low carb fajita recipe. I have used it for years and made it into a simple version etc.
Well this was one of those days, the marinade I squeeze a ton of lime juice, some cumin (which I didn't have so I used taco seasoning), and pepper into a bag with the cut up raw chicken and shake it up.
I have lime juice on hand at all times, and I'm pretty sure someone made fun of me for it seeing it in my fridge ... two lime juice containers. It's just such a good go to juice to create a marinade or even use instead of oil in the frying pan!

The trick to this recipe is making the peppers and onions, AWESOME. You gotta chop all your peppers and onions, and then keep a close eye on the frying pan with the olive oil and veggies in them. When the onions get translucent is when you should take them off and put them too the side. Just perfect! :)
After you are doing whipping up your veggies, time for the meat! It should be marinaded decently, you can always put it in longer, but like I said this is a quick meal! Here's what's nice, you don't need any oil, just dump the ziplock of meat out onto the pan with the meat. All that marinade makes it good for frying!
And that's basically it. Make it a Fajita bar with soft or hard taco shells, create a salad as I did, and add whatever toppings you like!
It's so delicious, and everyone is sure to love it.
