"Clean" Fajitas - Slow Cooker Style

So yesterday, I posted about the Cilantro Lime Chicken - Slow Cooker Style that our Beachbody Team's Challenge Group is doing right now. Also about Clean Eating and what that's all about!

Well, today I bring you Fajitas - Slow Cooker Style!


This recipe is super duper easy.
Yet, supremely yummy!!

It doesn't get much easier than meat, peppers, onions and a taco shell. mmmhmmm. You have the option of dressing it up a little bit by topping it with a little mexi-flavored Greek yogurt and chopped fresh veggies if it tickles your fancy!

Here's what you do...

Take steak & coat with seasonings. Chop veggies. Put it all in the slow cooker.

BAM! 

It really is that simple. I had mine alongside a guac boat and a little bit of corn cut from the cob. The boys gobbled theirs up with cheese on top and the corn on the cob.

Here are the recipes:

Clean Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

1-2 pounds beef of choice (flank steak, top round, etc.)
2 bell peppers thinly sliced
1 medium onion
1 1/2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic
*1 jalepeno pepper (remove seeds and mince)
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste

Mix dry ingredients and rub onto steak. Put rest of ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on high for 5-6 hours. Shred meat with two forks once finished cooking. Serve on tortilla wraps (preferably whole wheat) with your favorite chopped veggies.


Mexi-Flavored Greek Yogurt Spread

3 tbsp non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp lime juice
*spice of choice (sriracha, tabasco, etc.)

Mix together and spread onto tortilla or dollop on top!


Guac Boat

Cut avocado in half. Remove pit. Scrape flesh with a fork until mashed. Add a splash of lime juice and garlic salt or Himalayan sea salt to taste. Voila!


 *optional ingredients


ENJOY!!

TIME TO EAT || Skinny Taste's Naked Salmon Burger

Have you ever visited the Skinny Taste website?

abort abort!!!

             I warned you.....

But the good thing is, the recipes are good for you! The pictures are pretty too! (screenshot of their Recipe Page)


Well yesterday, I happened upon an amazingly delicious-looking recipe for Salmon patties. I'm always looking to spice things up ;) and recently, beginning to really limit my intake of processed foods. Although, I'm breastfeeding still, (6 months strong, whoop!) I'm careful to not cut too many calories right now. This recipe for Naked Salmon Burgers looks Ah-mazing and still filling and packed with protein!


Found it on Pinterest!

I love salmon. I love sriracha. I love avocado. Heck, I just love food. So I can't WAIT to try this one out. I think the hubs & kids might even love it, too! Salmon is a very nutrient rich food and I love that she uses fresh salmon ground in the food processor. And the arugula?? Perfect.

I'll be back to report how this goes over with the fam. Right now I gotta go grab a napkin and wipe the drool off my keyboard.

For the Naked Salmon Burger with Sriracha Mayo recipe

Enjoy! (And save me a bite!)
