There are probably endless ways to serve this chicken however here are three suggestions to get you started:

2. Serve in a bowl over rice (try homemade cilantro lime rice or mexican rice for additional flavor).
3. Serve fajita mixture on top of a salad.

Now, fajitas would not be as exciting to me if it were not for the toppings!
