Fajitas with Chicken and Zucchini
by Editorial Staff
Ripe summer squash can even be used in Mexican fajitas. They fill the snack with a lot of fiber, and their neutral taste blends well with the other brighter ingredients of this colorful dish. Make grilled chicken fajitas with courgettes. And so that this vegetable blends harmoniously into a Mexican appetizer, fry it in a pan with tomatoes, jalapenos, and cilantro. You will get a very aromatic and juicy vegetable mixture, which is served on a tortilla with pieces of fried chicken and lime wedges.
