<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n9. Create a Spice Mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Seasoning makes the meal. Without spices and salt, your chicken will taste reasonably bland, and absorb the other flavors, leaving you thinking that you\u2019re eating a vegetarian wrap. We like spicy food, so we enjoy adding spices with heat. Enhance the spice mix with earthy flavors from cumin, onion, and garlic to round out the taste experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to share our secret recipe for the best fajita spice with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4-teaspoons Chili Powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2-teaspoons smoked paprika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2-teaspoons crushed Himalayan pink salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2-teaspoons brown sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-teaspoon garlic powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-teaspoon onion powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-teaspoon cracked black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-teaspoon Mexican oregano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-teaspoon cumin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
METHOD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place all of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Store your seasoning in an airtight container in the back of your fridge. Use 2-teaspoons of the seasoning for every pound of chicken. Rub the spice mix into the chicken 5-minutes before cooking, or add it to the marinade mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n10. Fajitas Toppings <\/h3>\n\n\n\n Our favorite toppings for chicken fajitas include salsa verde and sour cream. The creamy texture combined with a refreshing taste goes so well with warm chicken and vegetables. Make your topping using any ingredients you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we feel like impressing our family or friends with our fajita recipe, we like to include chopped cilantro, Chipotle lime crema, and a dash of chipotle spice to our sour cream \u2013 it provides an additional flavor that makes the meal taste fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other ingredients for toppings worthy of mention include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Guacamole or sliced avocados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Pepperdews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Sliced Jalapenos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Pico de gallo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Hot sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Sliced Kalamata olives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best thing about fajitas is the flexibility with the recipe ingredients. Experiment as much as you like and ask your family what kind of spices they enjoy. Be a real chef and ask your family for critique after they finish the meal \u2013 feedback will help you understand how you can improve your recipe the next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n11. Sides for Chicken Fajitas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Fajitas are the star attraction of this meal, but what about the sides? Sides make the meal, and you can select from a wide variety of tasty treats to add to your meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We enjoy cilantro lime rice or Mexican-style rice, with a grilled corn salad for our ideal fajita sides. However, please don\u2019t take out word for it, choose any side you like. Some other tasty options bursting with flavor that perfectly compliment the meal are; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Sweet and spicy Southwest salad with a cilantro and lime vinaigrette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Get adventurous with a fruit salad and raw honey dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Fresh garden salad with chopped walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When selecting your sides, try to stick to salads and rice, they provide the best complimentary flavors to the fajitas, and they don\u2019t take long to make. If you still have room left after your fajitas, finish the meal off with churros for dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
