Notes

To store leftovers, let them cool completely and place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Can freeze for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before reheating. For more flavor, marinate the chicken in the fajita seasoning for a few hours before cooking. Experiment with different types of bell peppers for added color. Make it spicier with additional cayenne or jalapeños.
