Chicken fajitas are one of my favourite meals and I often like to use the same flavours in a hearty and tasty chicken fajita pasta. This pasta starts out with some chicken that is tossed in taco seasoning (I like homemade for tons of flavour) followed by plenty of onions and peppers! Once the chicken and veggies are ready there is some broth to form the base of the sauce along with some diced tomatoes (fire roasted are great here) and I like to add some sour cream to things nice and creamy. All that’s left is to mix in the pasta and serve topped with your favourite chicken fajita fillings like cheese and sour cream!
Add some melted Cheese!
Top it with your favourite fajita toppings like cheese and sour cream!

Kevin, what kind of pasta did you use? Have you tried different kinds, and if so, what's your favorite?
You have the best recipes!! Love them
I made this tonight after getting home from work; we had some grilled chicken from last night, so my prep was very easy. IT IS GREAT! Thank you, Kevin.
Looks wonderful…can't wait to make it this weekend!
so in total is it two tablespoons of taco seasoning or just one?
Looks great!
This is such a delicious twist on enchiladas!
I just made this tonight for dinner. It was good but it was more like soup! The recipe doesn't say to drain the diced tomatoes and there's way too much liquid. Looked a bit bland and pale in comparison to the picture even though I followed the recipe exactly.
Almost looks like broken lasagna noodles?? Can you tell us what you used?
This was a good recipe but I did make changes: added black beans and corn for extra veggies. Also used a whole packet of spicy taco mix and a jalapeño for extra kick. Very yummy!
This was a hit with our family……my son who can be picky declared it a “keeper”!
