Paleo Spicy Beef Fajitas

I try and stick to a general Paleo template when eating. Supplementing with Oats and White Rice when needing an extra boost. But, like most people, you can't force those you live with to do the same. I'm constantly trying to come up with ways to feed myself and my husband and keep us both happy! 



Fajita night is a great way to accomplish this. Check out my recipe here for Paleo Guacamole and Salsa. Freshly made Salsa and Guacamole only takes a few minutes, uses most of the same ingredients and is worth the extra effort. It really adds taste and freshness to the dish. Not to mention they are both packed with healthy ingredients.

To make the Fajitas I mix some lean, beef mince (or can substituted with chicken breast chunks) in the following spice mix:

  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Once the meat is thoroughly cooked in a pan I add some sliced peppers, onion or any other vegetable of choice. Serve in a warm bowl with the following sides:


Paleo sides:
 - Sliced Lettuce

Non-Paleo Side
 - Flour Tortilla Wraps
 - Sour Cream
 - Grated Cheese
 - Fried spiced Rice
 - Refried beans

This way you can all enjoy the same dinner with you selecting which sides suit your current goals and lifestyle at this time. Everyone wins!

Lunch Time!: I typically make extra of everything and ensure I have enough for a tasty Fajita salad in work the next day. Just add some shredded lettuce to a jar, top with beef mix, cheese, salsa, guacamole and you've a quick and easy meal for the next day! Delish!



Any questions, just ask and I'd love to see some of your photos of recipes you've tried.
