Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl
By Addie
When it comes to Chicken Fajitas, the most common way to eat them is placed in a warm tortilla and topped with a variety of accompaniments. But what do you do if you have leftovers or even if you decide to make a double batch of it like me? In our house we use the original recipe the first night and on the second day turn it into Chicken Fajita RIce Bowls. As delicious as fajitas taste wrapped in a tortilla, when the spiced chicken and vegetables are chopped fine, mixed with cheese and beans and placed on top of warm rice, you may be inspired to serve them this way all the time!
