It’s everything you love about fajitas, mixed with some quinoa, doused with salsa, topped with plenty of cheese and then baked to perfection. It’s a great weeknight meal and incredible as leftovers!

You guys know how much I love eating out of a bowl right? I mean I wrote an entire chapter on bowls in my cookbook for crying out loud! I have similar feelings about cooking everything in a big 'ol skillet and serving it straight outta the pan. It makes things easy and that's exactly what this Chicken Fajita Skillet Quinoa Bake is!

It's everything you love about fajitas, mixed with some quinoa (you could also use rice or pasta if that's more your jam), doused with salsa, topped with plenty of cheese and then baked to perfection. It's PERFECT for any weeknight meal and it's incredible as leftovers! Top it with some guacamole and call it a day!
