Chicken fajitas aren't one of those things that usually do it for me but MAN, were these GOOD! My initial reason for making them was simply to use up some chicken from the freezer, the bell peppers that were heading downhill, and one of the onions from a big bag of Vidalias a sweet friend shared with me. But let me tell you, readers, the next time I make these it will be because they were delicious!
I wasn't sure how I was going to replicate the flavor of traditional fajitas, but the high heat and spice mixture hit it right on the head. As if it the delicious flavor wasn't enough, this meal took less than 30 minutes to get on the table! We enjoyed these with some shredded cheese, tomatillo salsa, Greek yogurt, and cilantro, but any toppings you like will be just great.
