CHICKEN FAJITA

IMG_2829

When Fridays & Chili’s first introduced fajita in Egypt, everybody was thrilled over this new dish. I remember we used to go every Thursday after school, order tons of fajita & enjoy our wraps! For years, I never ordered anything at Chili’s except Fajita!

Ever since I started cooking, I stopped eating fajita in restaurants! My homemade version is way better, cheaper & I get to play with the toppings as much as I want.

This dish is a perfect getaway from your everyday traditional cooking & is also perfect for big gatherings as people gather around the table & get creative with their wraps!

PLEASE PLEASE give this spicy avocado spread a try; it is to die for & will take your fajita wrap to a whole new level!
