Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers Recipe
I know I missed Cinco de Mayo and didn’t post this recipe in time, but Chicken Fajitas all great all the time. These stuffed peppers have all of the flavors of chicken fajitas with none of the grains. I used my Homemade Fajita Seasoning which is easy to throw together and much better quality (i.e. no fillers or added sugar) than store bought seasoning. The muffin tin trick makes a great holder for cooking stuffed peppers no what you decide to fill them with.
Also, if the weather is already too warm where you are to turn on the oven you can always cook these peppers in a cast iron pan on your grill.
P.S. If you make any of my recipes I’d love to see them on Instagram so definitely tag me with @holisticallyeng 🙂
