This is one of my favorite recipes and it is simple and easy to make:

Fajita Bowls (it makes 4 servings).

Depending on how you make it, it can range from 800 Cal with all the toppings listed below or lighten it up by going vegan with only one tortilla and no sour cream, cheese or avocado.

In keeping with the fajita theme, we eat "baked fajita chicken" about once a week. I found the recipe on MFP several years ago and its become a staple in our house (we had it last night in fact). My husband likes to eat it in a bun 🙃 I just looked in the MFP recipe section and can't find it there anymore, otherwise I would have posted the link.

2 or 3 chicken breasts (I usually make extra for lunches)
A sprinkling of taco seasoning
Bell pepper, thinly sliced (whatever colour you have, or mix them up)
Red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 cup of shredded cheese

I line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Put your boneless chicken breasts in first, then sprinkle the seasoning, add the peppers and onions, and sprinkle the cheese. Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes till chicken is no longer pink. The amounts aren't exact because it depends how many breasts you're cooking, and your own taste preference.

Enjoy!

I made a lovely salad yesterday.

Arugula, jicama, beets, pecans and goat cheese. I drizzled balsamic vinegar over the top plus a dash of salt. Delicious.

A few years ago, I made a lot of meatless meals and this was something I would throw together from mostly pantry items. Full of fiber!

Sauté onion, garlic and jalapeno, add seasonings like cumin, adobo, Add in chopped zucchini til cooked. Add in a can of chopped tomatoes, black beans and maybe corn if I had it. Simmer for 10 or 20 minutes. Serve over polenta. So good! Serve with a little avocado, sour cream and a bit of cheese if you like.

I would make an Italian version (skip the jalapeno, black beans, cumin & adobo) instead add eggplant, white beans, rosemary, oregano. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

I wish I liked bell peppers because that would add a lot of volume with little calories, but I hate them!

You could add meat to both versions for additional protein. A little spicy sausage goes a long way in flavor.
