Mexican Fajita Pasta

Mexican Fajita Pasta

Mexican Fajita Pasta

This delicious Mexican Fajita Pasta is a fast weeknight meal with savory southwest flavors that your entire family will love. You can shake things up a bit by adding chicken or probably even some sausage depending on your family’s tastes, but for us, this recipe is great for “meatless Monday”. Meatless Monday is a great way to cut down on your grocery bill as well as a way to explore different meals options outside of the norm.

My kids actually love this Mexican Fajita Pasta recipe, which is weird considering I usually cook for people that “aren’t hungry”. I never get that response when I set this delicious dish on the table. Are your kids as picky as mine? This is the perfect recipe for you!

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Pasta
  • 1 Avocado
  • ½ Cup olive oil
  • 1 Clove garlic
  • Lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tomato sauce
  • Shredded chicken
  • Cilantro to decorate

Directions

Prepare pasta according to directions. Set aside.

While the pasta is cooking place the avocado, olive oil, garlic, lime juice and salt and pepper into a food processor or blender. Blend until creamy.

Tips

  • It’s great because you can substitute a lot of the ingredients used in this recipe for other things you have on hand. Maybe swap out the chicken for some ground beef or take out the avocado sauce.
  • You can also make it a pasta bake. Continue where we left the recipe place in a baking pan and cover with shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
