A healthy and delicious version of this popular Tex-Mex dish.
Chicken fajitas are one of my family’s favorite recipes. I personally love to make it because it can be made in so many ways and it is easily to make. You can make them in a frying pan, grill them, or even back them on a cooking sheet. You can put them in a tortilla or serve it on rice. Heck, it is delicious on its own.
This recipe is so good, I republished it. It was originally published on 21 May 2017.
