Chicken fajitas is one of my family’s favorite recipes. It is a simple meal that can go from pan to table in less than 30 minutes. It is highly customizable, depending on your family’s tastes and health needs. My chicken fajita recipe is also great for a large family party, or a take-along recipe when you are at a friend’s house. If you read my blog, you will see that chicken fajitas are a staple in my menu plan.
Ingredients
- 2 packs Tyson Chicken Fajita pieces or 3 large boneless chicken breasts cooked and diced.
- 1 bag frozen mixed pepper strips.
- 1 pack McCormick fajita seasoning.
- 1 bag shredded Mexican blend cheese.
- 1 bag tortillas of your choice.
- Sour cream, as needed.
- Small amount of vegetable cooking spray(optional).
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan, warm up chicken pieces on medium heat. Spray with a little bit of vegetable cooking spray to help the chicken from sticking.
- Add frozen pepper strips to pan and cover, stir occasionally .
- Let chicken and peppers cook till soft(usually about 10 minutes).
- When chicken and peppers are warmed through, drain off excess juices.
- Add fajita seasoning and mix thoroughly(I do not add water, as the juices from the chicken and peppers are sufficient to coat with seasoning).
- Turn heat to low, add taco cheese and cover, and allow time for cheese to melt.
- Spoon fajita mix onto a warmed tortilla(I warm it up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds), add sour cream, if desired, and roll.
Notes
You can watch fat and calories by omitting sour cream, using low fat cheese, and serve fajita mixture on a wheat tortilla. You can also add rice or black beans, as additional toppings. If you wish, you can turn this into a chicken fajita salad by adding mixture to chopped greens, and tearing up the tortilla into pieces, and mixing into salad. This recipe lends well to doubling and tripling, depending on your family's needs.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe. Stop back in again for other delicious menu ideas.
This looks wonderful. I love how easy it is. We are usually beef people, but I am going to try this. Have a great day.

Tanya, you can substitute beef in this recipe very easily. I get the Tyson Steak Strips sometimes, and put those in. No need to change any part of the recipe. The fajita spice pack works well on chicken, beef, and probably pork too!
