    This is soooooo wonderful! I added guacamole to it and it was that much better!

  2. This was surprisingly wonderful. I add fresh chopped cilantro to the lettuce mix and deffinitely will do so again. I also let the “fajita” mixture cool off slightly before adding it to the greens. Next time I might even add some raw pumpkin seens for crunch. Super yummy. Even for non-paleo eaters, this is a keeper!

  3. Nice meal.

    I also squeezed some lime juice on top to add a little extra flavor to the greens.
