No Mess Tex Mex "Fajitas"

We are huge Biggest Loser fans and this recipe was featured on one of their episodes. I must admit my favorite part of the episode was their mini cooking competetion. It combined my favorite show and my favorite hobby, can't get much better than that! All of the dishes they made not only looked good but were good for you. Upon watching this episode, Jason immediately asked if we could have the fajitas for dinner. How could I say no? Below is our version of chicken fajitas with lettuce wraps instead of the usual flour tortillas. If you don't like spicey foods then scale the jalapeno and cayene down as it definitely has a kick.
