Mexican stir-fry

A healthy & quick meal perfect for weeknights. Double the recipe to serve more, and leftovers are delicious

Another quick & easy dinner today!

I assume you probably would’t mind one more.

Especially when there’s avocados involved…

and lots & lots of veggies!

Oh and it tastes reeaally good…

Really good!

Bear with me while I learn how to work my camera… some things aren’t perfectly in focus.

But you get the idea: there’s peppers, onions, and chicken strips seasoned with chili powder and lemon.

You can eat it inside tortillas or over some rice.

Or if you’ve had a day full of indulging, you could just eat it as is.

But make sure you get that avocado. That, my friends, is the best part of the meal

The recipe serves 2 but is very easily doubled to serve 4.
