Notes
- For even more flavor, marinate the chicken strips in the fajita seasoning, salt, and olive oil for at about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders if desired.
- Use taco seasoning instead of fajita seasoning mix if you're in a pinch. This is our favorite homemade taco seasoning recipe! (It uses simple ingredients of chili powder, cumin garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika)
- Include other fresh vegetables like sliced mushrooms or zucchini for more variety.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Like them spicier: add extra adobo peppers, a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the chicken as well. You can also top them with sliced jalapeños when serving
