Staying with the tortilla theme I started earlier, chicken fajitas are very easy and very healthy.

2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 onion, cut into half-rings
1 lime, cut in half
3 bell peppers, sliced
3 TB avocado oil, divided
1-2 TB fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of the oil, juice from 1/2 the lime, and the fajita seasoning. Add in the chicken and toss to combine. Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over med-hi heat. Toss in the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-9 minutes, until chicken is just cooked through. Remove from the skillet.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over med-hi, then in with the onions and peppers and a sprinkle of salt. Sauté, tossing occasionally for 5 minutes or so, then back in with the chicken, and cook another 3-5 minutes.

Squeeze the other half of the lime over the chicken mixture and serve with warmed whole wheat tortillas and low-fat sour cream and low-fat cheese.

@turtbean - Thanks for this. Tried it last night with a few substitutions...

Chicken breast > Quail breast... well because there's no shortage of them here.
Avocado oil > EVOO ...I have enough different kinds of oil. Didn't need to buy another one.
Low fat cheese > shredded Mexican mix...I like my cheese to melt uniformly. Low fat doesn't.

They were excellent and what surprised me the most was the flavor of the whole wheat tortillas. I don't think I would eat them all the time, but they were a pleasant change of pace.

And...since I have some leftover sour cream, it's only right that I have a steak and baked potato tonight. 😁
