Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas

These are my new favorite fajitas! We both absolutely loved them. (New favorite at home, my absolute favorite fajitas are at Superior Grill)  We don’t usually make fajitas at home. When we do make them, we use the recipe I have from Pampered Chef. They are great and perfect for a busy week night.   I have been searching for a good grilled fajita recipe.  I saw this recipe in the May issue of Southern Living and knew we had to give it a try.  The original recipe called for both beef and chicken.  I didn’t have any flank steak on hand, so we just did chicken.  I will have to give the flank steak a try next time.  The meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor.  We had some chicken leftover and I had it for lunch the next day, and it might have been better at lunch.  I love when I find a great new recipe like this!

  1. I've made chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas before. They were good but it's a lot of work. Need to give yours a try.

  2. I like the ingredients, I bet it was good.

    We haven't ever made fajitas at home. May just have to give it a try though.
