Vegetarian Fajitas - 5 points (chicken variation - 6 points)

Here's another great meal idea . . .

You can get low carb, high fiber tortillas that actually taste good at Costco (they're by La Tortilla Factory), 2 points each
Stir Fry up some veggies - lots of em - zuccini, yellow squash, onion, peppers, mushrooms, maybe even asparagus, and add in fresh cilantro and a packet of fajita seasoning mix (0 points if you use a spray instead of oil)
1/2 cup fat-free refried beans - 2 points

You can add a Dollop of Sour Cream (1 point) and some salsa (0 points) and you've got yourself a fajita! 

If you prefer, you can also cook up some boneless, skinless chicken breast, shred it and add more fajita seasoning, and use that instead of the refried beans.  1 full breast is 3 points.  I doubt you'd even USE that much. . .but if you did, you'd be looking at a whopping 6 points per fajita, and I bet you can't eat more than 2 of 'em!

Best part is - you'll have lots of left over veggies cooked up for snacking, and they'll have great flavor.  Put them with some brown rice the next day, for lunch!
