One of my favorite meals is Fajitas! Sometimes they can get pretty unhealthy when they are drowned in oils, cheese and tortillas. I like to lighten them up by using lettuce instead of tortillas and making my toppings healthier. I made shrimp fajitas for me and chicken fajitas for Jeremy. These are super filling and guilt free!
