Fajita Chicken Cheese Melt

Bold, melty, and built for craveability!
This sizzling take on a fajita platter brings together seasoned chicken breast, sweet peppers, red onion, black beans, corn, and salsa, all blanketed in gooey Pizza Mozzarella cheese, replacing traditional Oaxaca for a smooth, stretchy melt. Finished with warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, it is a vibrant, all-in-one dish that is easy to execute and perfect for pairing with a classic Margarita. A flavour-forward main that delivers on comfort, colour, and kitchen efficiency.

Serve with a classic Margarita to cut through the richness of the melted cheese and brighten the smoky-sweet fajita flavours.
