These Easy Chicken Fajitas are bursting with plenty of flavor from chili powder, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and smoked chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. This healthy delicious meal comes together quite quickly after the chicken is marinated. I love to serve this with Doritos Taco Salad, Easy Taco Dip and Raspberry Margaritas. This is a meal that everyone enjoys and it is one of my family’s favorites. You are going to love this easy, delicious and flavorful meal.
