Cinco de Mayo is almost here and usually that means lots of parties with Mexican dishes filled with carbs and grains. Luckily for us, now that we have Homemade Taco Seasoning and Homemade Taco Sauce we can enjoy Cinco de Mayo with tasty low carb and Paleo dishes. These Chicken Fajita Rolls would make a great Cinco de Mayo dish. The version pictured here is dairy free, but if you eat dairy then a sprinkle of cheese on top would make a great addition. Now all you need is a fresh low carb margarita to go with it. 🙂
Enjoy!
