Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken or beef in fajita seasoning for a few hours before cooking. Use a variety of colored bell peppers for a more vibrant dish. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste; you can add some cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. If you’re short on time, you can sauté the vegetables separately and add them to the meat before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
