Friday Feast - Paleo Chicken Fajitas with Peach Salsa

Paleo - Chicken Fajitas with Peach Salsa       

This was a simple Paleo meal that I cooked up in about 30 minutes.  It really was delicious and easy my 19 month old toddler loved this one too! When making this one I suggest making the Salsa first because it really does need that 30 minutes to marinate and really bring out some great flavors!  The fajitas only took about 20 minutes from prep to table.  You can also look at adding other "Mexican" spices to this mix and really bring out some great flavors.  Such as Paprika and Cayenne pepper. Hope you all enjoy!
