- Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the mixture and pour the diced tomatoes with their juice on top.
- Season with salt and pepper.

Notes
Opt for fresh spices if you're making your own fajita seasoning to enhance flavor. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after shredding for juicier fajitas. Experiment with different peppers for a unique twist—try poblano peppers for heat. Pair your fajitas with fresh lime juice squeezed over the top for a zesty finish. Serve with brown rice or quinoa for a nutritious side option. To warm tortillas, place them in a skillet for a minute on each side or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
