  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 8 ounces Sour Cream
  • Garlic Powder optional
  • Chile Lime Spice Blend I like Trader Joe's Chile Lime but you can make your own
  • Oil for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon Sweetener of choice honey, organic sugar or sugar free alternative - I use Pyure for low-carb

  • Without wiping pan used for onion and poblano, add meat and cook 3-4 minutes

  • Top with "pickled onion" and sour cream mixture
  • Put together using one of the options in "notes" and top with avocado and hot sauce if desired

Notes

Use Chile Lime Fajitas Mixture four ways
  1. Chile Lime Fajita Bowl by putting mixture on top of a bowl of your favorite rice or even riced cauliflower
  2. Traditional or Low Carb Chile Lime Fajitas can be made by using low carb tortillas or making your own wraps (see my instructional video here). Flour or corn tortillas can be used for traditional style fajitas.
  3. Chile Lime Fajita Salad - top a bed of greens with the mixture, add toppings such as avocado, black olives, or pico de gallo
  4. Tasty Chile Lime Fajita Loaded Nachos - Add mixture to a plate of Tortilla Chips and sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese, avocado, black olives, diced red bell pepper, pico de gallo or salsa
