One Pan Chicken Fajita Quinoa Recipe

Today I wanted to share a healthy guilt-free recipe so I don’t turn all of my fans obese lol. This one-pan chicken fajita quinoa is soo good and perfect for an easy weekday dinner or even Sunday meal prep! I like to top it with a simple but creamy avocado sauce, some green onions, and fresh parsley. Quinoa is really good for you, and you honestly won’t miss the traditional tortilla because it is so good on its own! I hope you guys enjoy it!!

Top finished quinoa with avocado sauce, green onions, and cilantro.
