Vegan Fajitas with Meatless Chicken

Vegan Fajitas aka Meatless Chicken Fajitas are filled with a variety of grilled vegetables. Live the spicy life with flavors of the southwest!

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.

I think one of the most fun times is a Mexican themed party. There are endless choices to add to the buffet. Side dishes such as Instant Pot Refried Beans and Red River Rice would be ideal.

This is what the refried Beans look like!

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.

Add 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.

Helpful Tools for Vegan Fajitas

A nice big stainless steel skillet is so handy. This one even has a lid.

You have to have a set of measuring spoons for this recipe and as always I love stainless steel.
