Paleo Chicken Fajitas

These were a pretty big hit at my house, mostly because I could eat them totally Paleo and my partner could eat them with flour tortillas and cheese :-) I really like to entertain, but none of my friends are Paleo, so I'm always trying to come up with dinner ideas that allow some flexibility. I tried it out on my partner first and I am calling it a success. Next time I have a dinner party these will most definitely be on the menu with primal and non-primal options for wrapping and topping. P.S. Applications for Paleo friends are now being accepted :-)

Paleo Chicken Fajitas: 

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb chicken
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 onion
  • oregeno
  • chili powder
  • cumin
  • corriander
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Lettuce
  • avocado
Cut chicken into strips or cubes. Chop peppers and onion. Add chicken to the skillet with coconut oil and cook until both sides are brown. Add peppers and onion. Mix lemon juice with spices separately then add to the skillet. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon of each spice and then add additional to taste. Serve in lettuce wrap and add freshly chopped avocado before serving.
