PER SERVING (entire recipe): 190 calories, 2.5g fat, 562mg sodium, 18g carbs, 4g fiber, 7g sugars, 23g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

Ready for a Mexi-licious mini-meal or snack? It's a chicken fajita explosion that's under 200 cals... Olé!




Ingredients:
3 medium iceberg lettuce leaves (or leaves from another round, firm head of lettuce)
3 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, sliced
1/2 cup sliced red and green bell peppers
1/2 cup sliced onions
2 tbsp. HG's Holy Moly Guacamole** http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/19006-guac-shock-guacamole-recipe-from-hg?hl=HG's+Holy+Moly+Guacamole#posts-162633
1 tbsp. salsa
1 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. dry fajita seasoning mix

Directions:
Place chicken, peppers, and onions in a medium bowl. Blend fajita seasoning mix with 3 tbsp. water, and pour mixture over the chicken and veggies. Stir so that chicken and veggies are thoroughly coated. Let marinate for 5 minutes.

Spray a medium pan with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Pour chicken/veggie mixture (including any excess marinade) into the pan. Moving mixture around occasionally with a spatula, cook until chicken is cooked through and veggies are slightly browned (about 6 minutes). Transfer mixture to a bowl. Serve with the lettuce leaves, guac, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy fajita-style, by loading up each lettuce "cup" with 1/3rd of the mixture and topping with the condiments. Yum!

MAKES 1 SERVING

**HG Alternative! Don't feel like whipping up a batch of HG's guacamole? No worries. You can use store-bought guac instead. Then the entire recipe will have around 213 calories, 6g fat, 17.5g carbs, and 2.5g fiber (POINTS® value 4*). Not bad!
