CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Marinating chicken and peppers and onions in a highly flavored marinade and then grilling gives it all the flavor without fat. A spiced creamy yogurt sauce and avocado sauce wrapped in a corn tortilla with fresh cilantro keeps the fajitas healthy and fresh tasting.

Steps:
- 1. Put the cilantro, lime juice, broth, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, honey, and salt in a blender, puree until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons; do not wash out the blender.
- Put chicken breasts in a medium bowl and the peppers and onions in another. Divide the remaining cilantro puree evenly between the chicken and the peppers and onions. Toss well to coat the chicken and vegetables and let stand, at room temperature, for 30 minutes.
- 2. Add the avocado, 1/2 cup water, and the reserved 2 tablespoons cilantro sauce to the blender. Puree until smooth and season with salt. Set aside.
- 3. Heat the oil in a small skillet set over medium heat until hot. Add the cumin and coriander and continue to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the spices over the yogurt and set aside for the flavors to blend. Stir before serving.
- 4. Preheat a grill for medium-high/direct heat cooking. Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken and vegetables, turning, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 5 to 8 minutes for the vegetables and 12 to 15 minutes for the chicken. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Place the tortillas on the grill until just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
- 5. To assemble the fajitas: slice the onions and peppers into thin strips and then slice the chicken. Place some peppers, onions, chicken and cilantro in a tortilla topped with the spiced yogurt and the avocado sauce.

CHICKEN FAJITA AND CILANTRO-LIME CAULIFLOWER RICE BOWLS
Inspired by a famous restaurant that has added "Lifestyle" bowls and salads to the menu, this recipe will appeal to folks who are grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. This lively combination of fajita-style chicken, bell peppers, onions, and cilantro-lime cauliflower rice only needs a fork--no tortilla needed! Use a purchased marinade, if you prefer.

Steps:
- Combine 1/8 cup chopped cilantro, orange juice, 1/8 cup olive oil, juice of 1/2 lime, chipotle chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze the bag several times to combine the ingredients.
- Cut chicken into 1-inch slices, cutting across the chicken breast, and add to the marinade. Carefully squeeze out most of the air, seal the bag, and move chicken pieces around in the marinade to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine red bell pepper slices, green bell pepper slices, and onion pieces in a large bowl. Add remaining 1/8 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the vegetable pieces are coated in oil and seasonings.
- Line a 12 x 18-inch sheet pan with foil or parchment paper and spread chicken slices and vegetables out on the pan in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is done and the vegetables are lightly charred, about 25 minutes.
- Near the end of the baking time, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and water. Cook, stirring frequently, until cauliflower is softened, about 5 minutes. Drain cauliflower rice and place in a serving bowl. Stir in melted ghee, reserved 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble bowls by making a layer of cilantro-lime cauliflower rice, and a layer of fajita chicken and vegetables. Top with tomato salsa and guacamole.
