One of my favorite snacks (and sometimes breakfast) of all time is a hard-boiled egg slathered with Primal Kitchen’s Chipotle Lime Mayo and a sprinkle of Trader Joe’s Chile-Lime seasoning. I’ve gone through two jars of that mayonnaise and 95% of it went on hard-boiled eggs.
No, really. These are the best chicken fajitas — citrusy with a hint of heat and they make the BEST leftovers! (Leftover fajita hash is pretty amazing.)
