How do you cut chicken breasts for fajitas?

When making fajitas, cut the chicken breasts into strips. This helps them cook quickly and makes the fajitas easier to eat. It's easiest to slice chicken breasts thinly if they are chilled from the fridge.

What kind of onions are best for fajitas?

Red onions are my favorite to use in fajitas because they have a sweeter and more mild onion flavor when cooked.

Both taco and fajita seasoning have some similar spices like cumin, paprika, and chili. You can use taco and fajita seasonings interchangeably in many recipes.
