Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
How do I keep the chicken from getting rubbery?
Cook over high heat in a single layer without overcrowding, so it sears rather than steams.
Can I make my own fajita seasoning?
Yes, mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
