Vegetables – Save time and prep by using a bag of frozen peppers and onions, be sure to thaw them first. Other fajita veggies to use are sliced mushrooms and zucchini, diced potatoes (also can be found in the frozen section!), corn, diced tomatoes, green chilis, jalapenos, and sliced black olives.
Variations – Buy it or make your own fajita seasoning to make it taste just how you like it! Make it a vegetarian meal by using beans instead of meat, or go low-carb and serve chicken fajitas over a bed of fresh salad greens!
