Want a flavorful and delicious diabetes-friendly dinner, but don’t have much time to cook? – Fajitas can be a great option for you. This Mexican dish is one of the most suitable for diabetics because fajitas can be made very low on carbs and provide great mix of healthy fat and protein. Just make sure not to use some high-carb ingredients such as rice or white flour tortillas.

Instead, use ingredients such as corn tortillas, grilled chicken, and vegetables. In fact, grilled chicken breast fajitas are a perfect fit for a person with diabetes who wants to enjoy Mexican cuisine. Chicken breast is a great source of protein, while grilling is a very healthy way to cook it as there is no unnecessary fat used during the process.

Vegetable fajitas is another healthy option for people with diabetes. Using a combination of low-carb ingredients like lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, mushrooms and avocado creates a delicious combination of flavors. Here are some fajita recipes that we like.

Fajitas with Chicken

Fajitas with chicken is a Mexican dish made from vegetables and chicken breast. This diabetic-friendly dish turns out juicy, filling, very tasty and spicy. Cooking is quite quick and simple. To make the dish spicy, you can choose a hot sauce of your choice or make it yourself by mixing tomato paste with chili pepper and Mexican spices.
