Grilled Chicken Fajita Pasta

I grew up in South Texas. Where you can find a fajita on just about every corner. But I’ve never had Fajitas in pasta form.

Must say…not too bad.

If we could have had this with sour cream, I would have totally added some. But it certainly didn’t need it!

How to Cook Chicken Fajita Pasta 

Saute the fajita veggies. 

Add to mixing bowl with cooked pasta. 

Stir in some grilled chicken bites. 

Toss well and enjoy!
