Easy Chicken Fajita Wraps with Cilantro-Lime Sauce
For the weeknights when you need a fast dinner in 30 minutes or less, here’s a healthy family favorite Easy Chicken Fajita Wraps with Cilantro Lime Sauce. This recipe uses a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal.
You will get the best results for the cilantro-lime sauce by preparing it the night before so the flavors have a chance to thoroughly blend, but you can also make it when you prepare the chicken.
Time-saving tip: if you make fajitas often, prepare the fajita seasoning in larger batches and store in an airtight container for later use. A few minutes of planning ahead will save you even more time on those busy nights you want to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible.
