Chef's Tips
- 💡To warm tortillas, you can wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or microwave them briefly wrapped in a damp paper towel.
- 💡For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the fajita seasoning.
- 💡Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, corn, or black beans to the mix for even more variety and nutrition.
