I am sure there are a few calories in the seasoning mix (there is SUGAR in there!) but I don't sweat those few calories....you probably burn them by chewing your food anyway...0 -

I was just going to ask if she marinaded chicken in it. Our grocery store has marinaded chicken breasts and it is soooo good! I tried doing my own (because it is pricey in the store) using a package fajita mix and it was not very good. So i am going to try this, it will probably be better!
I usually cook up a pound of it and use for my lunches at work in salads, just on it's own or in a tortilla. I love it every way!
Thanks for the recipe!0 -
We are having fajitas today, wish I would have had this before I purchased already made stuff...but I may use this instead. Thanks0
