We’re getting into full summer swing here on the blog with today’s recipe! I’m sharing my quick and easy chicken fajita wraps, which are loaded with delicious toppings!
Happy Monday, friends! I am ready for summer to be here like. right. now. And if it doesn’t want to show up quite yet (as is so often the case here in Michigan), you’d better believe I’m going to cook like it is anyways! We are looking forward to a long weekend for Memorial Day coming up in a couple weekends, but for now, we’re eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies and grilling (even in the rain 😀 ). So for today I thought I’d share this fun and super simple chicken fajita wraps recipe with y’all!
The inspiration for this recipe was my sister, who uses a similar super simple genius recipe when she’s got leftover chicken. I jazzed it up a bit with guacamole, shredded cheese and sour cream with some sautéed veggies, but you could easily use any kinds of Mexican or Southwestern ingredients that you have lying around the fridge, like beans, rice, or smashed avocado!
