Notes
- If you don't have leftover chicken, then you can fry up some small chopped chicken breasts.
- You can use store bought fajita seasoning if you don't want to make your own.
- Give these a green veggie boost by added some chopped spinach at the same time as the cheese.
- Use flour tortillas rather than corn, as there are more pliable.
