At the Tabuleh Cafe we offer both chicken and beef fajitas.  Both are served with your choice of rice pilaf or brown rice lentil pilaf paired with a soup, salad, grilled veggies, or Tabuleh.

Chicken is an excellent source of protein; in fact, just four ounces provide 67.6% of the daily value for protein. Protein protects against bone loss in elderly people. A study has shown us that 70-90-year-old women and men that had the highest protein intake lost significantly less bone over a four-year period than those who consumed less protein. Chicken also contains cancer-protective nutrients like Vitamin B, niacin, and selenium. Vitamin B promotes energy and cardiovascular health. Selenium is important for thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense systems and immune function. Protection against Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related cognitive declines is found in chicken as well.

Our beef comes from cows that are grass fed, which means these cows are a lot healthier and that benefits you by eating it. Most cows used for their beef are fed corn even though they are not able to digest it properly. Cows are fed corn to make them as beefy as quickly and cheaply as possible. Although corn gives cows more fat (more meat to be cut and sold) it is all saturated fat and cannot be cut off from the meat like grass fed cows.  The grass fed cow is lower in fat and artery clogging saturated fat and provides omega-3 fats.  It also has three times more Vitamin E than corn fed cattle and is a lot higher in conjugated linoleic acid (shown to lower cancer risk).  Lastly, grass fed cows are treated more humanely that corn fed cows. They are housed differently and live better lives than the less fortunate cattle in other factory farms.

Paired with rice pilaf or brown rice lentil pilaf and a soup, salad, grilled veggies, or Tabuleh, you are sure to be taking in a very supplemental meal.  Rice is very beneficial for many different reasons.  It is an excellent source of energy production, antioxidant protection, healthier weight, fiber, selenium, lower cholesterol, and cardiovascular support.
