Chicken Fajitas, Gluten Free Style

Nothing makes my husband happier than Mexican food. He'll go on and on about where he has eaten the best fish tacos (Tijuana), where he found the best tortillas (Cabo San Lucas), and where he tasted the best salsa (San Diego).

Before we were dating we traveled to Tijuana together with a group of college friends and visited his very favorite taco stand.

"The rule is that you have to eat at least five tacos or you aren't marriage material," he told our whole group. We all dutifully ate at least five tacos, guys and gals alike. It wasn't hard. They were fantastic.

Years later, when we started dating, I reminded him of that moment.

"Would you have asked me out if I had failed the taco test?" I asked.

"Uh..." he hesitated.

"You're HESITATING?!" I exclaimed.

"It's an important test!" he said.

Unfortunately for his Mexican food loving tastebuds, we now live in Wisconsin. Not exactly the land of avocados and mahi mahi. Still, we do when we can.

Since we're trying to eat a bit healthier, I've jumped on the food bandwagon of our southern neighbors, too. There are lots of great Mexican-inspired meals that use lots of vegetables and fresh ingredients. My general rule is, if my husband is willing to grill out in the snow, I'm willing to cook something Mexican-inspired.

These are our latest attempt at fajitas. We make our own corn tortillas with masa flour instead of using gf flour ones. This is both really affordable and quite tasty. These fajitas are far from totally authentic (like I said, it's Wisconsin!), but they are tasty, healthy, and 100% gluten free!
