Ole’! It was Mexican night for dinner and the only way to celebrate was to make chicken fajitas! I have always believed fajitas needed a certain style for cooking. At restaurants, they come out sizzling, smoking and on fire. How was I going to accomplish that? Well, making fajitas is definitely a lot easier than it looks. 

I enjoyed sizzling up these chicken fajitas over the skillet. The ground cumin and chili powder made the flavor authentic. The process was very little prep and cook time. Topped with sour cream, cheese, and whatever the heart desires, makes for a perfect Fiesta!!!
