This is one of my go to weeknight meals, it’s the perfect meal for those nights when I just don’t feel like being in the kitchen. I actually serve it a few times a month, I just change up the protein so that the family doesn’t feel like I’m serving the same thing over and over again. 

This is a pretty simple recipe, it uses both fresh ingredients and processed ingredients. I use the processed ingredients to cut down on the time spent in the kitchen. When I’m feeling a little more chef-y and have the time I’ll mix up my own fajita mix or make my own flour tortillas to avoid the processed versions.
