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)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine chili powder, black pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, add your sliced peppers, onion and chicken strips. Drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle with seasoning. Use tongs to gently toss until everything is well coated. Transfer to your baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

  4. 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.

  5. Remove fajitas from oven. Serve in butter lettuce leaves drizzled with cashew sour cream and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
