Chicken Fajitas, Flour Tortillas and Black Beans Recipe
This is one of my favorite meals to make since a 200 grams of chicken breast yields over 60
grams of protein. However, I love to pair my chicken fajitas with Mission Foods Carb Balance Flour Tortillas
which has 19 grams of carbs of which 17 grams are dietary fiber. An eight pack sells for around $5.00 at
Vons or Smart and Final. Also as part of the cholesterol reduction strategy, around 150 grams of black beans
will be added to the meal.
