21 Day Fix Extreme Recipe: Chicken Fajitas 

I have been rocking Autumn Calabrese's new program, the 21 Day Fix Extreme, for few weeks now!  It has been great.  Now.....am I smiling my way through each and every workout?! --- NO.  Those workouts are tough and they kick my butt.  I am sweaty, sore, and gross by the end --- but I LOVE it. The good news is anytime your body is sore from a workout it means that it's challenging your body in a whole new way. 

One of the great things that comes with each fitness program is a nutrition guide.  This guide was full of some great recipes that I was ready to try!! Sometimes you just need a new one to throw into the rotation.  

If you are looking for a delicious new recipe --> look no further! Try this one out. I doubt you will be disappointed.   You can even save some that will make great leftovers too!

If you have non clean eaters in your family you can still do the chicken fajitas but just give everyone else shells to use instead of lettuce! 

This recipe makes 4 servings and 2 fajitas each

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt 
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
