Why not have a salad with your fajitas? This would make a great main dish if you add some steak, chicken or shrimp. Try this marinade...it would be delicious along with this salad.(Kudos to ifoodreal for the original recipe.)

4 cups baby or full-grown kale (stalks removed & coarsely chopped), packed

1 large avocado, finely chopped

1 large tomato, finely chopped
