Why This one

a few words from me

Chicken fajitas make for an effortless and flavorful dinner on any weeknight. This classic Mexican dish involves seasoning juicy meat, grilling or searing it to perfection, and then tossing it with sauteed bell peppers and onions; I have added strips of pumpkin to make it even healthier. A dash of fresh lime juice provides a flavour, and the fajitas are served with tortillas and various toppings. I have made it in crispy tortilla baskets.
