Do you like mexican food? How about fruit?

My husband and I love them both and we thought we would try something different by combining them into one delicious dish! We are always trying new recipes and ideas in the kitchen and we love to pair up unexpected flavors. That’s how we came up with our latest creation, the fresh fruit fajita!

First, we started with our fresh produce from the farmer’s market. Didn’t we snag some amazing looking fruits and veggies?

Next, julienne the bell peppers and dice the jalapenos. Sauté the cut veggies in olive oil and hot sauce (I suggest leaving out the hot sauce if you are sensitive to spicy foods)

While you vegetables are sautéing, cut cooked rosemary chicken into bite sized pieces.

After heating your tortillas, add chicken pieces and top with sautéed peppers and cut stone fruit.

Don’t these look awesome? We served our fajitas with farro. We mixed the cooked farro with corn, black beans and halved grape tomatoes, a quick easy side!

Now you have a complete, healthy meal to serve for dinner!
