Who doesn't love fajitas? Not many, I figure. They're a favorite in Mexican restaurants, but you can make them healthier at home, controlling the fat and salt if you choose, and they are just as tasty! They're also versatile, because you can enjoy the veggies and protein for very low carb, or give yourself the amount of carbs you want by serving with whole grain tortillas, or rice. Super simple and fast too!
Here's a classic way to make chicken breast taste great - balsamic marinade with Italian seasoning. The recipe is simple and the prep and grilling is fast. If you wanted an even simpler and faster shortcut, you could marinate your chicken with balsamic or Italian dressing, but the nice thing about making your own marinades is you control the ingredients and therefore the taste (including salt content) and the macros. Try making this marinade from scratch - you won't regret it

It's also thick and filling and amazingly satisfying for only 274 calories..

Or cheese!) But with a few ingredient changes, this classic comfort food is not only fantastic on holidays like Thanksgiving, it can also become a light and healthy weekly staple.
