    My husband Tommy is a creature of habit. Anytime we eat at a Mexican restaurant, he always orders chicken fajitas. When we went to Mexico years ago, he may have ordered them almost every night! I find it amusing because I get bored of eating the same thing twice. I tend to always try something completely new to me. If you love fajitas but want some variety, try my Spicy Breakfast Fajitas, Grilled Steak Fajitas, and Shrimp Fajitas.,These healthy chicken fajitas are a regular in my home. We make them at least once a month, and the whole family enjoys them. When Madison was younger, she only liked her bell peppers raw, so I would chop some up and set them aside for her with some chicken and a tortilla. Fajitas are easy to deconstruct if your kids like to eat their foods separately.,These easy chicken fajitas cook in about 20 minutes, making them perfect for a busy night.,To save carbs, use a big lettuce leaf instead of a tortilla to wrap around the fajita fillings. You can also serve the chicken and veggies over lettuce as a salad. Add fresh avocado and use salsa as a dressing.,Swap the chicken for skirt or flank steak.,For a healthier substitute for sour cream, try plain Greek yogurt.,Skillet Mexican Zucchini,Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos,Baked Mexican Layer Dip,Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas,Mexican Shrimp Diablo
