Food Healing Chicken Fajitas

Naturally healing foods of coconut oil, cilantro, tomatoes, bell peppers, and spices also give flavor to this delicious chicken fajita recipe.

This recipe uses whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas, but for the ultimate in food healing fajitas, skip the traditional tortilla wrap and opt for green or red leaf lettuce cups which are filled with natural water content, fiber, and provide a satiating crisp, crunchiness.

Coconut oil provides the good-for-you saturated fat. Cilantro is a natural mineral chelating food. Tomatoes are filled with cancer-fighting properties like lycopene and have a high water content to hydrate the body. And, spices like cumin have anti-inflammatory qualities to help heal and nurture the body.
