A sizzling hot, low-carb grilled fajita salad that requires no exercise. If preferred, add lime wedges and finely chopped cilantro as a garnish.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 large avocados
  2. 2 limes, halved
  3. ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves
  4. 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped, divided
  5. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  6. ⅓ cup diced red onion
  7. ¼ cup seeded and diced jalapeno peppers
  8. ½ cup diced tomato

Instructions

  1. Cut open avocados and scoop all the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a bean masher or spoon until there are no large chunks of avocado left.
  2. Squeeze lime juice over the avocado. Add cilantro and 1 chipotle pepper with some adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper; mix to combine. Mix in red onion and jalapenos. Add tomato and mix gently to combine. Chill before serving garnished with remaining chipotle pepper and adobo sauce.
  3. The reason I add the ingredients in this order is so the veggies don’t turn to mush from overmixing, especially the tomato.
