Notes
- Tips:
- Chicken Fajita Toppings:
- If you want to cook faster, use thin chicken breast, or cut chicken breast into strips.
- If you prefer your cheese more melty and less crispy, add it only 5-8 minutes before the end of the cook time.
- There is no need to cover the chicken fajitas to bake. If you do, it will substantially increase the cooking time. To keep the cheese melty, add it at the end.
- Homemade Salsa
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Cheddar cheese
- Pico de Gallo
- Shredded lettuce
- Chopped cilantro
