Spoiler alert: She wasn’t.
Anyways…

It’s the BEST recipe ever.

But friends, these easy chicken fajitas are GOOD.
Not to mention, cooking fajitas in the Instant Pot is so. dang. easy!
I mean, this baby takes less than 30 minutes from thought to dinner, and that’s my kinda Monday meal!
I know you know what I’m talking about.
After the weekend you head back to real life.
Work. School. Carpool. It’s enough to put anyone in a bad mood.
But Mexican Food Monday will totally turn your day around!
So this Monday I actually planned on making my favorite taco recipe.
“But moooooom, you made tacos laaaaaaaast Monday”
Uhhhh yeah. I definitely did make tacos last Monday. Because tacos are delicious.
But I don’t like disappointing the minions, so I looked in my fridge to see what else I could put together quickly.
Aha! Chicken fajitas to the rescue!
So I grabbed out some peppers, some onions, and I started chopping!
I love that once I got all my ingredients into my Instant Pot I got 15 minutes to help the kids with their homework instead of standing over a stove.
Then once the pressure was released, I just had to drain the juice (Woah buddy is there a lot of juice!), toss in the rest of the spices, and add it to my tortillas with cheese and some extra onions.
The easy chicken fajitas recipe was a huge hit, even with my picky eater!
