AIP Chicken Fajitas with Easy Guacamole

I might be a bit of a Tex-Mex snob...I'm that person who thinks it's wrong to just grab a packet of taco seasoning, throw it on some chicken & peppers and call it fajitas. LOL. I have always made my fajita seasoning from scratch. Fajita night was a fav! When I started making AIP friendly tortillas I needed to think up some yummy ideas for fillings. I realized with a few omissions and tweaks, I could eat my beloved fajitas again. Yay!

Here is my AIP-ified Chicken Fajitas. My favourite version of the recipe requires AIP re-introduction of seeds. However, I have a strict AIP variation included also! You can use the seasoning base on any meat you wish. It's great with beef or shrimp!

​Below are my Chicken Fajita Filling and Easy Guacamole recipes. You can find my Cassava Root Tortilla recipe HERE. I hope you enjoy!

The link to the tortillas isn't working. Can you revise that or send me the recipe?

These are absolutely delicious. Every part of them. I think I'm addicted to the avocado. I made a double batch of the chicken (we have a large family) the juices from the chicken wouldn't allow them to brown. Once they were cooked through I put the chicken on a baking sheet under the broiler. Worked perfectly!
