Add the taco seasoning mix and refried beans to the skillet and stir until everything is combined. Reduce heat to low and let simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
Next, assemble your tacos by filling each taco shell or tortilla with some of the beef mixture and topping it with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, sour cream, and salsa/hot sauce as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

•1 tablespoon chili powder
•2 teaspoons ground cumin
•1 teaspoon garlic powder

Plus the leftovers make for great lunch the next day. Here’s how I make my delicious chicken fajitas.
First, I season the chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Then I heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken strips until they’re cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, I slice my bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. When the chicken is done cooking, I remove it from the skillet and set it aside. Then I add the peppers and onions to the skillet and cook them until they’re tender. Once the vegetables are cooked through, I add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir everything together. The fajitas are now ready to serve.

We also like to top our tacos with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese – but these toppings are optional. My kids especially love when we make this meal because they get to customize their tacos however they want! The best part is that there are often leftovers which makes for a great lunch the next day.
The story behind my favorite chicken fajita recipe is that it was passed down from my grandmother to my mother and then to me. My grandmother used to make this meal all the time when I was growing up – she called them Mexican tacos! She taught me how to season the chicken strips so they had just enough flavor while still allowing the vegetables to shine through.
