Don’s Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas tonight! When everyone gets to build their fajitas just the way they like ’em, they just taste better. They’re the ultimate in fingerfood. It’s called having a little skin in the game. 



They’re great with plant-based product or with optional chicken breast. And, speaking of skin, if you are using the optional chicken in your fajitas, cook your chicken without it. Either way you’re in for some fabulous, fun, fingerlicious food!
