Cooking

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the chicken fajita mixture cool down before placing it in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. The flavors will continue to meld together, making it just as tasty the second time around. Feel free to swap out the chicken for shrimp or beef for a different twist. For extra depth, squeeze some lime juice over the dish just before serving.
