Absolutely delicious and easy! The flavors compliment each other nicely. I didn’t have the chipotle chilli seasoning so just used taco seasoning. Enjoyed in fajitas!!

It looks delicious. I can easily see how you ate the whole pan by yourself! Can’t wait to try it. Do you prefer the Chipotle powder or are you also adding the dried Jalapenos you talked about? Where might one find dried jalapenos? My husband eats them as soon as we pick them!
