Quick Southwest Fajitas

These quick and bold Southwest Fajitas come together in minutes using my homemade Southwest Rub. Juicy chicken (or steak), sautéed peppers, and onions get coated in smoky chili, cumin, garlic, and chipotle for a warm, vibrant flavor that tastes like your favorite Tex‑Mex spot. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or building the ultimate fajita bowl.
