Notes
- To see the measurements in cups and ounces, please click on the US CUSTOMARY link.
- The amount of ingredients listed can be adjusted depending on the number of servings you need, just click on the number next to SERVINGS.
- If you are keen on cutting down the amount of carbs, you can enjoy this fajitas without the tortilla wraps. You got chicken and veggies, and that is a filling enough meal that is nutritious and delicious.
- Or use wholemeal wraps instead of the plain flour ones, and that should up the fibre intake and make it a healthier, better option.
- Swap chicken for beef or pork if you like, it will still be a winner, it might just add extra time to your cooking, as chicken usually cooks a lot faster.
