Fajitas around my house are a pretty popular thing. There are times that I literally make them once a week and no one ever seems to get tired of them. I have a pretty simple way of making my fajitas since I use frozen chicken that has been seasoned already. I love the easiness of using already seasoned chicken.
I was thinking of a way to mix it up a little, so I thought why not make my fajitas into a pizza. Everyone was really happy with what I call my Chicken Fajita Pizza! Mixing two of my favorite things, pizza and fajitas turned into a big hit.
