Spicy Chicken Fajitas

Not sure what to make for dinner?! Chicken Fajitas are the best quick and easy meal for those busy nights! What I love about these is how customizable they are to your preferences, these are super easy to make a little spicier and just as easy to take away the heat if thats not something you prefer. Toppings are also easy to pick and choose to make these perfect just for you!

Recipe Below!

This tangy yet spicy recipe will not disappoint. They are quick to put together and so flavourful! The chicken goes great wrapped in a tortilla or served over rice. If you are looking for a low carb option; quinoa or on it’s own with toppings works great!
