What’s In Fajita Pasta?

• Pasta
  You can use macaroni, penne, or any pasta you like
• Seasoning
  You can use store-bought Fajita seasoning, or you can use taco seasoning. Or you can make your own!
• Veggies
  Combination of bell peppers for color. You can use red, yellow, green bell peppers.
• Meat
  We usually use chicken – breast part. But you can use chicken thighs. If you not into chicken, you can use shrimp or even leftover steak.
• Sauce
  Milk or cream is perfect. But if you like you can add chicken stock to give you more flavor!
• Cheese
  Make it EXTRA Cheesy! I suggest adding some cheese on top. Yum!! For this recipe, we used Real California Pepper Jack. This cheese is flavored with sweet peppers, chilies, and herbs for an extra kick. But you may use other types of Real California cheese too.
  WHY REAL CALIFORNIA?

One serving of cheese contains many essential nutrients your body needs including Calcium, Protein, Phosphorus, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, and Niacin.

How to Make Chicken Fajita Pasta

Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken and cook about 5-6 minutes or until no pink is visible, then take the chicken out.

Add the bell peppers and onion, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.

Add the chicken back to the pot with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, stirring until evenly coated, about 30 seconds.

Add the milk (or milk plus chicken stock) and the pasta, stirring constantly to prevent any pasta from sticking.

Cook for about 20 minutes until pasta is cooked and the milk has reduced to a thick sauce that coats the pasta. Add the cheese and mix until melted.

Serve and Enjoy!
