This is one of my favorite meals to make the family. It is so easy to make and everyone loves it. There are also so many ways to customize it depending on your preferences. The fajitas on their own are only 5 WW points (green plan). You can serve them over lettuce or cauliflower rice to keep it 5 points or serve in a low carb tortilla (my favorite). Recipe is only 4 points if you use chicken breasts instead of thighs.
There are so many different toppings that you can enjoy as well. Here are some ideas....
- Light Sour Cream - 2 Tbls = 1 point
- Cilantro - 0 points
- Lime Wedges - 0 points
- Avocado - ¼ = 3 points
- Salsa - 0 points
- Shredded Cheese - 1 Tbls = 1 point
- Jalapeno - 0 points
- Onion - 0 points
*these are all based in the WW green plan and can vary depending on brand
