Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas with Cashew Sour Cream
Ingredients
1 tbsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1 Yellow Bell Pepper (sliced)
1 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
1 Jalapeno Pepper (de-seeded and sliced)
1 Sweet Onion (sliced)
8 ozs Chicken Breast (cut into strips)
8 ozs Shrimp
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cashews (soaked for 1 hour and liquid drained)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Lemon (juiced)
2 tbsps Water
1 Lime (cut into wedges)
8 leaves Romaine Or Butter Lettuce (washed and stems removed)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine chili powder, black pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your sliced peppers, onion and chicken strips. Drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle with seasoning (save a little to sprinkle on shrimp). Use tongs to gently toss until everything is well coated. Transfer to your baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes and then mix in the shrimp for an additional 10 minutes or until both chicken and shrimp are cooked through.
Meanwhile, create your cashew sour cream by combining cashews, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and water in a blender or food processor. Pulse very well until completely smooth. Add an extra splash of water if too thick. Transfer to a jar and set aside.
Remove fajitas from oven. Serve in lettuce leave wraps or gluten-free tortillas drizzled with cashew sour cream and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
