Chicken Fajitas

Teresa Ambra
This delectable Tex-Mex entree includes chicken and veggies sautéed in a delicious homemade taco seasoning. After spreading tortillas with sour cream, the chicken mixture is spread with salsa, cheddar cheese, guacamole, beans, rice, avocados, cilantro and lime. Succulent and mouthwatering.
