In case you guys hadn’t noticed, we have a pretty busy lifestyle, especially during the school year when sports are in full swing. So accordingly, these fajita bowls are great to make during the busy weeks of the school year. Using leftover chicken or steak, (or grilled if you’re short on leftovers), this dish can be quickly thrown together, and is even faster if your meat and veggies are cut up ahead of time. With great flavor and plenty of protein, everyone is sure to be full and satisfied.
