Shrimp or Chicken Fajitas Fajitas use one of the healthiest available cooking methods: grilling. They also come with grilled vegetables such as bell peppers and onions, which are valuable sources of antioxidants. Go for shrimp or white-meat chicken, instead of steak, to avoid the saturated fat content of red meat.

Read More »The traditional fajita filling of skirt steak will give you a big hit of protein. A 3-ounce serving of grilled skirt steak with all the fat trimmed contains just under 20 grams of protein.
Traditional fajitas used skirt steak, though nowadays the term fajita is used to describe anything that's cooked and served in a flour tortilla. The protein content of fajitas varies, depending on what you put in your tortilla. Pick the right ingredients and you can have a healthy meal that packs a powerful protein punch. The Wrap The type of wrap you choose affects the protein content of your fajita. Whole-grain tortillas are higher in protein than their white counterparts. A typical whole-grain tortilla contains 4 grams of protein, while a white tortilla only has 2.5 grams. This may not seem like a huge difference, but if you're having two or three at a meal, it all adds up. Meat and Fish Fillings The traditional fajita filling of skirt steak will give you a big hit of protein. A 3-ounce serving of grilled skirt steak with all the fat trimmed contains just under 20 grams of protein. Switch your steak to chicken breast and you'll get 25 grams of protein for the same serving size, or if you opt for shrimp, you'll get 19 grams of protein in your 3-ounce serving. Vegetarian Options Vegetarian fajitas are lower in protein than meat- or fish-based ones, but you can increase the protein content with a few veggie-friendly additions. While not traditional, crumbled tofu could be used in place of ground beef, and vegetarian low-fat cheese would boost the protein count. To keep it a little more authentic, add beans such as kidney or pinto beans. Not only do beans provide protein, but they're an excellent source of fiber, too, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Most types of beans contain around 20 grams of protein per 1/2-cup serving.
