Who's ready for an easy, healthy dinner recipe? 🙋♀️ Chicken fajitas are one of my favorite year-round recipes as it's easy and flavorful. I also love Mexican cuisine and have recipes for guacamole, pico de gallo, huevos rancheros, shrimp tacos, carne asada and so much more on my website. But what other Mexican favorites would you like to see me whip up? Let me know! xo - Lisa
🤗💕
I would love to see a chicken pozele or conchinita pebil and is there a recipe for the salsa in this video 4:34?😋
Omg im 700 liker
Could you tell me where can I find the recipe for those gluten free fajitas ?
I'm ready!! Especially for a guacamole recipe!!😀🤗
1/2 tbsp chilli
1/2 tbsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
Quarter tsp black pepper
Ty!!!
Ty!!!
Tyvm 😃
Hi madam,let me know what kinds of sauce is that the red one like chili sauce?
@@marycaponong3573 Salsa... :)
That drawer with all spices is a dream 😍
Don't get that if you are not cooking all the time: ground spices lose their flavors fast!
@@nathanli3024 definitely not too much of a worry in my experience ground spices hold their flavour very well! Everybody should have a nice set of spices.
@@AlexanderBeaton6 That is definitely not my experience. My cumin, herbs de Provence ground black pepper and chili powder lost half if not almost their flavor for about a good 5-8 months: you can still taste what it is but it is nothing like the fresh. Something like white pepper, garlic powder, whole black pepper, Cayan, Sichuan red pepper, Sichuan peppercorn tend to last a bit longer but 1-2 years is about it(I'm an Asian American who loves spicy food😁). Maybe you are in a different climate zone? I live in southeastern Pennsylvania. Maybe if your location is like a dryer place like Arizona or a hotter place like SoCal it will be better? I don't know.
@@nathanli3024 Im also on the east coast but in Canada up in Nova Scotia so we probably have a similar climate 🤔 I looked into it and your definitely right lol its not something I ever really thought about too much I feel like its something that is so different spice to spice though because Ive definitely cooked with older spices that had a nice flavour to them
@@AlexanderBeaton6 Totally agrees on different spices ages differently. You gotta try what works for you.
I was born and raised in Mexico, and I can tell you, this recipe is REALLY good. Not a "gringo" stuff at all.
Hi
Oh okay, I was doubting it until I saw your comment ngl💀😅
@@the_sequel3473 😂
The sour cream is something you wouldn’t really add in Mexico if I’m not mistaken but there’s no denying how good it tastes.
thank you for the clarification😂
I slightly increased the amount of spices and cut the raw chicken into strips so more of the chicken was coated with the marinade, added a little olive oil to make a paste then added some lime for some tanginess. It was really tasty and the whole family really loved it with tortillas and avocado slices! Thank you so much for the recipe!
That's what I just did to my sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe to make it better. Really works.
I'm from India and this fajita recipe is such a hit with my family! best thing is that it uses ingredients that are readily available in Indian kitchens. pretty awesome how such a simple recipe is so delightfully tasty! thank you 🙏
Oregano, chili, cumin, garlic powder, peprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper
Quick tip. Cut your chicken into strips, peppers and onions the night before and marinate with your fajita seasoning in a freezer gallon baggie.. The next day it’s ready to put in your slow cooker or in your cast iron skillet to cook up. If you don’t have tortillas put it in a hoagie roll or just put it on a bed of red or white rice. With a side of refried beans. Having this tonight. Can’t wait.
You can also make a sheet pan version, and either broil it or bake for a slightly longer time at 450 degrees. Toss the aluminum foil when you're done!
You had me on "you do not need sugar in your chicken fajitas." Thank you! I'm tired of seeing recipes that use sugar as a form of seasoning. I'm definitely cooking your recipe. Thanks again. By the way, your spice collection is amazing!❤
Thanks Kelly! Hope you enjoy this recipe 😊
I LOVE how well you season your food
It really is all about the seasoning! 😊
Could you please put the name of the season, please? ?
@@mayeya58 she called out the spices by name.
I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I just got my first house and i’ve even using this recipe at least once a week. It’s quick and delicious.
This is the first recipe video I ever followed along to. I used red onions and a non-stick pan. But everything else was spot on. It was so good. I just ate it as is, with just the chicken, peppers, and onions. It was a great low-carb meal.
I cooked this for dinner tonight, it was AMAZING ❤️
Followed each step, this is a great video for someone who doesn’t even know how to cook at all .!!
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed this recipe 😊
Thank you so much!!!!!! Love your recipes! It is so well made and they are delicious! You explain so well. My native language is not English, but I understand everything. Please don’t stop making videos. I send you a lot of love! 😘
I am so happy that I‘ve discovered your channel!!!!
I always say, "have you ever seen anyone sad eating Mexican food?" Never!
Hello, im making chicken fajita's for 3rd times so far and with this recipe 1st time. And i must say your spice mix is golden. İt has so much flavor in it and it exploded in my mouth when i eat your fajita...
Thank u so much for the recipe,
Lots of love and respect from Turkey...
I've been making this kind of meal so often, as it's easy, simple, yet flavorful, but never knew it's called fajitas... lol. Love that there are various kind of recipes from various countries in your channel :)
Thanks so much Dyah 😊I love traveling around the world and I hope to bring back some key recipes from each place I visit back to Downshiftology!
Thank you for helping me lose 15 lbs and more to come! You are a godsend, please continue making your videos. I am always looking forward to watching them whether they are recent or old. I never get tired of reviewing.
Just made this and that seasoning mix was amazing. I happened to have all the spices in my larder but never put them together. Thanks for this.
This is the exact recipe I needed right now!
Amazing! Enjoy the recipe 😊
And 8 months later, here I am with the same comment! Precisely what I needed and made for dinner tonight - VERY tasty and easy to make.
And I am here a year later and it’s exactly what I needed right now too! Thank you!!
@@joyful_tanya and I'm here 2 months later with the same thoughts 😂
I'm here for review-- May 2021!!
I was supposed to fix tonight. Tomorrow night, because I need a few more ingredients. Can you do this with rotisserie chicken? Why not!!
It`s so good. I made it yesterday and it turned out to be a family favorite!!!
I'm by far a good cook, but I followed this recipe and I can't believe how fast and delicious they came out.
That's so great to hear!! 😊
This looks so easy to make and so delicious, I will definitely try it this weekend. Thank you 💕
It really is one of the quickest meals I've made 😊Enjoy!
Mine turned out delicious! I had never made fajitas before and I’m not someone super confident in their cooking ability, but I followed the instructions and the chicken turned out PERFECT and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making this one if my go tos. Thank you!!

Dear Lisa, thank you for this amazing recipe! My family loved it! I made it with my niece (11) and nephew (9) so we adjusted the spices to suit their taste. Their mum and dad (who don't eat healthy food very often) enjoyed it as well!❤😊
I'm so happy you all enjoyed it! :)

This recipe is the bomb! Love it. I used red and mild banana peppers with onion. Topped with Mexican cheese, lime juice and guacamole. Will be making this a regular meal. Quick and simple too.
I loved watching her eat in the end! She’s so happy to eat the Fajitas! They look delicious
I make this dish after the recipe in the video almost every week. I absolutly love it!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed this recipe 😊
Ok I made this for the family and they keep asking me to make it again! It’s wonderful. Also, made your Zucchini Fritters this week. Another new favorite. Thank You. Looking for a cookbook. Hope we see that soon.
Always come back to your recipe 🌷
Made this for dinner. YUM! What an amazing mix of spices. Definitely adding to my list of go-to dinners.
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed this recipe 😊
I'm in love with this recipe. I made pico and had it on a tortilla the first night and the next day I had it in a salad and it's just delicious.
Yummy! Glad you enjoyed this chicken fajitas recipe Kiri.
Thank you so much for this recipe!! This was my first time making dinner for my parents so it was very easy to follow along.
This is right up my street,I love this recipe looks so good if I could just get some through the phone to eat now 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧
Thank you for the simple demo, I love Fajitas now I can make my own “Taco Seasoning” I can’t waite
Sounds great!😊
I love your drawer with the spices etc in
Good receipt, have made this twice, really healthy and taste really good too.
Thank you so much! It was a great, simple dinner solution and the way you break down the instructions in the video is so appreciated!
Glad it was helpful Nina 😊
Thank you for always bringing us wonderful recipes and meal plans, and the education and info in addition! I would LOVE to see a meal prep your way for Keto/Low carb. It could even be a series where you include different videos for paleo, and whole 30, and whatever other food trends follow. It’s always awesome to see how easy prep can be, because it’s so essential!
Thanks so much for all your support Michala! I hope to create more meal prep ideas later this year 😊
was literally thinking about how I wanted to make chicken fajitas next week for dinner and then suddenly this vid pops up ... magic!
Great minds think alike! 😊
I wowed when you pulled out all those spices in glass jars! I've never wanted that but now I do lol. I want a kitchen that's so big a can have row after row of spices in them lol
It's the best, especially if you're cooking with tons of spices :)
I want to try this .looks delicious and healthy
I just made the chicken fajitas and it turned out amazing. Thank you for the recipe ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just make chicken fajitas tonight but my version of this recipe involves throwing everything in a glass casserole dish and roasting in the oven for about a half hour! Yes veggies get softer than cooking in a pan on the stove, but it’s more of a set it and forget it recipe, which is nice. Our homemade fajita seasoning is almost identical!
Sounds great!
Made this for dinner! Super easy and family loved it. Great recipe.
Great to hear!
Did exactly what you said but twice the amount, came out better than a restaurant. Me and my wife Hosted my family for the first time as newly weds everyone loved it. Thank you
Amazing! Glad you loved this recipe 😊
Oh, this is one of my favourite meals! 😍
So happy you posted it, finally I can make my own dressing! 😍
Thank you 😍
Homemade fajita seasoning is so easy to make! 😊
I was trying to remember wether or not there was a sprinkle of lemon at the end, im so glad to see you did that ☺
you know. I admire you a lot. And I kind of envy the way you manage your life.
Aw you're so sweet. My life is definitely not perfect, but I do my best like everyone else 😊
Ty for sharing your secret recipe. I didn't know about youtube until a year ago. Chicken fijitas is my fav to order at the Mexican Restaurant. Since I didn't know how to cook, I always go back everytime I wanted them. lol
I can’t wait to make this dish! Love how it’s easy and nutritional. The spices are a plus ( I usually use a store bought packet. Now I don’t have to anymore which is a bigger plus because of the fillers you talked about ). Thank you. Your a great cook and teacher. 🤗
Homemade seasoning is always the better choice 😊Can't wait for you to try it!
Girl you should do a drawer unboxing. Those simply organic seasonings make my mouth watering
I'm trying this one. Thanks for the recipe. Love the diy fajita seasoning.
Homemade fajita seasoning is the best! And no additives 😊Enjoy the recipe!
Made this recipe 15/10/20 for the first time omg it taste awesome, made in my cast iron skillet, finished with guacamole and salsa and fresh coriander perfect for a low carb meal. Thank you for sharing your recipe, quick and easy. I will Definitely make this again.
I love fajitas and these look delicious! Thank you Lisa 😘
You are so welcome!
I tried this recipe! It was so good, healthy and filling! Thank you so much!

I'm so glad I found this channel. I had gastric sleeve surgery almost 3 months ago. Obviously this requires a huge diet overhaul. I hate eating the same stuff over and over. And I really hate complicated recipes. Thank you for showing that healthy food can be tasty and simple. :)
I am so sorry to hear about your surgery! But I'm glad I can help when it comes to making healthy eating simple and easy 😊Enjoy all the recipes and be sure to take a peek at my site for tons more healthy ideas!
looks absolutely delicious! also seeing this as a great recipe to whip up with items that I already have lying around, like tortillas, chicken, and the toppings!
Perfect! And that's what I love about this dish - it uses just basic ingredients that you might already have laying around 😊Enjoy!
Thank you for the recipe. I will try cooking this tonight for dinner with kids
This was absolutely amazing. Just like restaurant style!
Glad you enjoyed it!
