This is a recipe refresh, taking old recipes, mash it up with new recipes to create new flavors and simplifying for busy people. What makes this recipe different from the usual taco? We are taking elements from Fajita recipes and elements from classic Tacos recipes to make a flavor explosion. We are preparing the veggies fajita style, seasoning it like chili and preparing like a taco. The secret to these fajita tacos is the chili seasoning. That’s right, chili seasoning. To me, taco seasoning and fajita seasoning can both be overwhelming to the palette and create a rather artificial taste. So instead I used 1/4 packet of chili seasoning to flavor the chicken and veggies. In the supermarket they sell prepackaged seasoning packets to make this quick and easy. If you rather make your own using the spices at home that okay too. This is just a quick and easy shortcut.
This recipe pairs well with cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. But assemble according to how you like your tacos! Taco-bout an easy recipe.
