TIPS
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner protein option.
- Opt for whole wheat or multi-grain tortillas to increase the fiber content and promote better digestion.
- Experiment with different vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach to add variety and boost the nutritional value of your fajitas.
- Control the amount of oil used in the recipe by using non-stick cooking spray or a minimal amount of olive oil.
- Customize your toppings according to your preferences and dietary needs, focusing on healthier options like fresh salsa, diced avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
