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.

Place in a pan the shredded chicken, cooked pasta, tomato sauce and avocado sauce. Toss until the pasta is coated.

Serve, top with cilantro and enjoy

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.
