Chicken fajitas are simple to make and super delicious. They are easy to make and, depending what you put on them, relatively healthy. I make them up about once a month and everybody loves fajita night. Give them a try and, as always, let us know what you think.
There are a few variations and suggestions to making this superb chicken fajita recipe. First, I find boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the easiest cut of meat to use, but you can use whatever cut you like. If they are sliced fairly thinly, they cook much nicer. We find the amount of suggested spices is just about perfect, but you can alter them as you see fit. You can even add extra spices if you wish, as well. It’s not completely necessary to use three different types of bell peppers, but I find it adds a nice variation of colors and taste. I use the plain flour tortillas, but you can use whole wheat or whatever you wish.
