Portabella Mushroom Fajitas


190 Calories per Fajita

Mushrooms are something that are kind of new to my "food box" but I love them. If you're not a fan of them, then this recipe isn't for you. The actual recipe does not call for chicken, but I added some grilled chicken for a little extra protein. I would definitely cook this meal again- like most of the meals that I cook, it's self contained and does not really need anything to go with it in order to be filling. ANNNND it uses garlic, which I LOVE. I think I might put garlic in almost everything I make haha. On fajita is only 190 calories which is awesome. I wasn't starving when we had dinner tonight so one was plenty for me however, you can have 2 and not feel bad about eating a ton of calories. You could even fix one and then have something to go with it like salsa or guac. With one serving being so low cal, you have alot of options.
