Tomatillo Chick Fajitas with Jicama-Mango Slaw  

I am a fan of the food channel, especially Chopped, DDD and Eat Street. They are a reminder that good food comes from all sorts of places, with emphasis on creativity. New food is exciting! This fajita is my take on a chicken tomatillo fajita that I saw features on "Eat Street". I love the idea that I can have food-cart food at home.

I used faux chicken strips in this one, but if you do not like to consume faux meat, you could easily substitute tofu or beans for the faux chicken strips.
