Description
 Fajitas are a go to meal, as they're a fun way to build your own food at the table. We'll have some sauteed chicken and peppers, along with rice, beans, cheese, tortillas, lettuce, and Tropical Fruit Salsa. Make tacos, or make it into a bowl, and mix it up as you see fit. Both the chicken and the veggies utilize a Homemade Sugar Free Italian Dressing in their marinades, in addition to lime juice and hot sauce
