This is one of those dinners that proves you don’t need tortillas to have something totally satisfying.

It’s a low-carb, clean eating twist on a classic, and it’s perfect for those nights when you want to keep things light but still crave that cozy fajita flavor.

Ready in about 30 minutes, these are easy to prep and totally weeknight-friendly.
