Notes
For even more flavor, marinate the chicken strips in the fajita seasoning, salt, and olive oil for at about 30 minutes before cooking.
Use boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders if desired.
Use taco seasoning instead of fajita seasoning mix if you're in a pinch. This is our favorite homemade taco seasoning recipe! (It uses simple ingredients of chili powder, cumin garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika)
Include other fresh vegetables like sliced mushrooms or zucchini for more variety.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
Like them spicier: add extra adobo peppers, a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the chicken as well. You can also top them with sliced jalapeños when serving
