Traditional Mexican food can leave you feeling sleepy and bloated! We linked up with healthy food prep master Erica DeLoera (@HealthyCrumbz) to create a healthy version of everyone's favorite Mexican dish: Shrimp Fajitas!
"Born in a Mexican household, Latin cuisine was part of my life growing up. My dad and I are the big cooks in the family and I always try to recreate his recipes. To this day, fajitas are one of his favorite dishes to make and it's a crowd pleaser every time. I always look for ways to make my recipes healthier and aside from using fresh ingredients, I paired this shrimp fajitas recipe with the Green & Balanced olive oil and it was the perfect addition. Once all the aromas invaded my kitchen, it was as if I was sitting in my parents' kitchen just like the old days." - Erica DeLoera
