What’s In Fajita Pasta?
Pasta of course and all of the flavors of our favorite fajita recipe!
Seasoning: I use homemade seasoning but you can use store bought or even use taco seasoning in a pinch. Fajita Veggies: We use a combination of bell peppers for color; red, green, yellow and orange can be used interchangeably. Meat: I love chicken fajitas so I’ve used chicken breast in this recipe but it’s great with shrimp or even leftover steak! Pasta Sauce: A little bit of cream (I use half and half), a sprinkle of cilantro and of course, lots of cheese! Pasta: Any medium pasta will do. I’ve used penne but other great choices include rotini or cavatappi (corkscrew pasta).
To Make Fajita Pasta
Just a few easy steps are all it takes to pull this meal together in minutes.
What to do with Leftovers
Chicken fajita pasta can be stored in the fridge for a quick lunch or supper. Or frozen for an easy weeknight dinner!
To refrigerate, cool then place in an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to four days. To freeze, cool then store in freezer containers, leaving an inch of headspace for expansion. It can be stored in the freezer for up to four months. To reheat, take directly from freezer and place in microwave on a low setting on short cooking cycles, gently stirring between cycles until it is hot through and through.
