Skillet Fajitas
There’s nothing in the world I love to eat more than Tex-Mex Food. Seriously I think I could eat it every day & never grow tired of the delicious flavors.
Sometimes I want some really good fajitas but don’t want the hassle of heating up the grill. {I know, first world problems}
The thing is, it’s super hard to re-create that delicious, smoky flavor indoors. But this recipe for Skillet Fajitas is what you have been waiting for & because it’s cooked inside you’ll never have to worry about over grilling it & ending up with dry chicken. This recipe is fool proof & this is my favorite skillet to use, but a simple cast iron skillet will work just as well.
This chicken is perfect in these paleo wraps, your favorite gluten free tortilla, or just put it on top of a salad for a quick, healthy dinner. Make this salsa fresca to go with it & everyone will be asking for seconds. Don’t forget to end your meal with these delicious Chocolate Dipped Churro Cookies.
