At MPOF, we absolutely love a tasty Tex-Mex treat, and if you’re reading this now, we’re guessing you do too! Overflowing with savory flavors, it’s really hard not to enjoy a Mexican-inspired southwestern cuisine. However, traditional Tex Mex can be loaded with unhealthy fats, carbs, and an absurd amount of sodium, usually to the point of being noncompliant with any diet plan. But don’t worry! We have a meal prep idea for you today that’s sizzling hot. A simple, yet very healthy chicken fajita veggie recipe!
One thing that makes this south-of-the-border meal prep idea so fantastic is that it’s 100% compliant with the Whole30, gluten-free, paleo, and low-carb lifestyles. You can enjoy it guilt-free and totally assured that you’re nourishing your body in a way that works toward your own personal health goals! For the most benefits, we strongly recommend using all completely organic ingredients—Not only do they just taste better in general but they also prevent you from eating GMOs, pesticides, or any other potentially harmful byproducts from the farming and production processes. We love to shop at Whole Foods because they have a massive selection of organic products to choose from, all in one place. The chicken breast strips used in this meal prep idea only cost us about $3.00!
Chicken Fajita Veggie Meal Prep is a super easy and delicious take on classic fajitas. It's bursting with flavor while still being healthy, too — it’s the best of both worlds!
Because this meal prep idea contains a high volume of freshly cooked vegetables, we recommend not keeping it in your fridge for longer than 3-4 days.
Yes, it can, and any portions you freeze will last 2-3 months for you to thaw and eat whenever you don’t have enough time to cook, or you just want to relax after a long day of work or school!
We love this meal prep idea because it’s just so quick and easy to make! Start by heating a large skillet on high heat, then add 2tbsp. of olive or avocado oil. Sauté onion and peppers~5-7 minutes, heat another skillet on medium-high heat, and add the other 2tbsp of oil. Add cauliflower rice, being sure to stir every couple of minutes for 10 minutes. Once the cauliflower rice has cooked, add fajita seasoning and chicken to the mixture, then sauté until chicken has warmed through and liquid has reduced. Remove from heat and serve fajita veggies with cauliflower rice. Top with salsa verde, Greek yogurt, scallions, and optional avocado, and finally, dress with a squeeze of lime and some cilantro.
Because there are sides incorporated into this dish, we recommend using three-compartment meal prep containers to store it.
