Summary

we don’t talk about fajitas enough. fajitas are a full sensory experience: the sizzling, the aromatics, the colors and flavors, not to mention the serotonin boost i get when all eyes are on me at a mexican restaurant (my fellow leo-risings know there’s no better feeling). aside from the fantastic vibes, fajitas are actually perfect for meal prep. these fajita bowls are packed with protein and fiber, and they can be customized to suit your taste. season to your desired spice level, substitute with your favorite protein or veggies, and reheat whenever you’re ready. for extra protein and flavor, serve with a spicy jalapeno greek yogurt sauce.
