WW friendly. A family favorite especially when atoning for excesses. This is so tasty, yet so healthy, even when each adult eats two large burritos. I adapted this from a recipe on a plastic produce bag at a Mars Supermarket.

  8. 8

  9. 9
    Add bell pepper strips and remaining garlic to frying pan and stirfry for 5 minutes or until peppers are tender.

This is absolutely delicous! I used chicken breasts cut into strips and used 2 limes, 2 garlic cloves and sprinkled half of the spices -cumin and paprika, for the marinade. Added in another 2 cloves of garlic for the bell peppers and the rest of the spices while stir-frying. The spices were just right, even DD enjoyed it! I left out the salsa but served it with sour cream on the side since DH is not a big fan of it. Thank you KateL, for sharing this wonderful recipe, I definitely will be making it again!
