Paleo Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas The PALEO Way!

The PALEO DIET is all for consuming NATURAL FOOD to improve your HEALTH. Humans spent over 2 million years eating the foods found in nature: game meat, fish, vegetables, wild fruits, eggs and nuts. We were thriving on this diet, high in animal saturated fat, proteins, low in carbs, and free of many of today's ailments (Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Acne, Cancer, Infertility, Obesity, and Autoimmune Disease to name a few).

I think this sounds a little intimidating, but the CHICKEN FAJITA recipe below demonstrates how you can slightly alter meals you already eat to be MORE PALEO.
