Friday: Quick Chicken FajitasJennifer Causey; Styling: Lindsey LowerMaking fajitas takes me on a trip down memory lane. Growing up, whenever we took my grandpa out to dinner at his favorite restaurant, he would order chicken fajitas.

I’ll toss some mixed greens with aSpicy Cilantro Vinaigretteto serve alongside.Get the Recipe
