Oh, you guys, I have been absolutely drooling to share this little slice of heaven with you—it’s my Cheesy Chicken Fajita Bake. It’s that perfect union of Tex-Mex flavors and good ol’ Midwestern comfort. Fajitas on their own are a festive and colorful dish, but when you’re tight on time or need something that screams ‘homey,’ a hearty fajita bake is your best friend. It’s also my go-to when I’ve got friends coming over on a Friday night, because who doesn’t love that sizzling combo of chicken, peppers, and a mountain of melted cheese?
If you’re anything like me, you’ll want a little something on the side to make the meal complete. A nice cilantro lime rice or some simple black beans always do the trick. Or keep it extra simple with a dollop of sour cream and a good scoop of guacamole on a warm tortilla—because let’s be real, everything is better in a tortilla.
