I LOVE "mexican food" and flavors and I
can NOT live without it, so I had to find ways to make it healthy! NO more crazy cravings and over indulgences here...this is my favorite recipe for fajitas and guacamole. Before I dish out the goods, let's talk toppings first...
Rules I follow: Nix the sour cream, just a sprinkle of cheese, lots of veggies, lettuce, guacamole for creaminess, home made salsa or hot sauce, and an organic corn tortilla or high fiber tortilla. Layer on the rest and you are in heaven.

Jalapeno, diced (optional)
I put guac in my taco, but if you want to dip,
here's a healthy alternative to fried chips!
Brush your tortilla's lightly with olive oil,sprinkle with kosher salt. Stack on a cutting board and cut into triangles.Bake at 400 degrees for 7-10 min, or until desired crispiness.
ENJOY!
