Vegan Fajitas are filled with a variety of savory grilled vegetables. Included in this recipe is wonderful meatless chicken and peanuts for even more texture.

That little bit of peanut crunch makes this fajita special and a dash of cinnamon keeps true to the Hispanic spirit.

Black Olives, avocado and a variety of ice cold drinks make for a party. And don’t forget! Everything has to be super colorful.

I got carried away. All I was trying to do was give you a simple and delicious fajita recipe and I started planning a party.

Well, add Vegan Fajitas aka Meatless Chicken Fajitas to your table and it will fit right into the festivities. I mean, it will make a fantastic and simple meal for your family to enjoy.
