Simply slice some green bell peppers and an onion. Rinse a package of fresh mushrooms and drain. Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into small thin pieces and add to a warm skillet coated with olive oil. Toss in the peppers, onions and mushrooms with the chicken and stir in a fajita packet according to the directions. (I will admit...the mushrooms I used in the photo were out of the can, but only because I didn't have fresh ones at the time.) They did the job, but I highly recommend using fresh!
While the chicken mixture is cooking begin working on the avocado cream. Slice open one avocado and take out the pit. Scoop the avocado into a mixing bowl. Add non-fat plain greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, salt to taste and mix well.
Once the chicken has fully cooked, remove from heat. Place a few pieces of butter lettuce on a plate and fill with the chicken fajita mixture. Top with salsa and the avocado cream.
The avocado cream really makes this dish. The flavor of the avocado is there with a sour cream like texture. Between the salsa, the seasonings and the avo cream, I promise you won't miss the tortilla, cheese, beans or rice.
