Notes

Make your own seasoning mix by following this recipe for homemade fajita seasoning.
Add on some guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa or jalapeno slices.
Serve with a side of Mexican ricecowboy caviar or refried beans.
Make them in the crockpot or Instant Pot instead.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat the chicken and veggies in a pan on the stovetop then assemble your fresh fajitas.
Freeze the chicken either cooked or raw in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat or cook as normal.
