I will start by saying, I liked the Fajitas, they are only 372 calories for TWO fajitas. Therefore, I must say they weren't too shabby. I will say, next time I would not bake the chicken next time as the recipe calls. I would first, cut up the chicken then cook in skillet.
We also did cheat and added some guacamole and a little bit of sour cream.. even then not too bad calorie wise.
I also want to throw it out there TORTILLAS make a HUGE difference. We had awesome tortillas, no offense, the Mission tortillas just don't do it for me... Taco Loco has good tortillas, the tortilla land brand is another I enjoy, you cook those. I can't remember the brand of these... I will look next time at the store.. quite tasty.
