Chilis Chicken Fajitas are Smokin Hot!

Chilis Chicken Fajitas are smokin hot and sizzlin good.  Don’t you love the way the sizzle goes on and on when they bring them to the table?  I think the secret to the sizzle is a sauce they pour on at the last minute, and it adds some extra flavor, too.

Grill the chicken and veggies (in a skillet) outside and you won’t have to worry about heating up your kitchen on these hot summer days.  Mix and match the toppings to suit your taste.  I like to serve these with Mexican Rice and I’ll give you that recipe tomorrow.
