Easy Chicken Fajitas

EASY RECIPE

How about a tasty, easy to make, recipe for Chicken Fajitas?  OK, here you go, my easy  family tested and approved fajitas recipe. Chicken has gotten so expensive I saved money by using chicken tenders instead of chicken breast fillets.  I mean what the heck, I was going to chop em anyway.

AND STUFF

After you have had as much pool time, golf, and hiking you desire what’s left to do in the Coachella Valley?  How about going to a wonderful Certified Farmer’s Market in Old Town La Quinta just east of Palm Desert. This event has been on our radar for sometime, and all I can say is I wish I had gone sooner!

I knew this was going to be special the moment we walked from the parking lot to the entrance at Old Town La Quinta.  And even before I got to the fresh vegetables I was snapping pictures like this water fountain.  DSCN1269
