Mmm. Fajitas. That’s what I’m always thinking in my head when I’m about to make these. As always, simple recipe. They really are best with chicken thighs – all I had on hand last night were chicken breasts, and I found it to be a little drier and not quite as flavorful. The recipe also calls for green pepper, but I’m not a fan, so I always use red. I know, I’m such a rebel.
Serve with warm flour tortillas, salsa and sour cream, and you’ll almost feel like you’re in Mexico. Minus the whole beautiful beach and warm weather part.
