Grilled chicken fajitas tostadas are a simple and healthy Mexican fajitas dinner. These fajitas tostadas are an easy outdoor grilling recipe. Not to mention, clean-up is a breeze!
Mexican night is a favorite in this house. I mean, does anyone ever get tired of tacos?! Tacos and fajitas are regular meals in my meal planning rotation. Fajitas are so simple to make on the grill (actually my preferred method) and it keeps the kitchen clean, which is a huge bonus! Don't get me wrong, classic fajitas are the bomb in a cast-iron skillet, but sometimes easy wins over traditional recipe methods. Not to mention, I love grilling out when the weather is nice. I use the grill as much as my husband does. Girls can grill too, you know. 😉
My favorite time-saving grilling recipes are foil-packet favorites, like this Easy Foil Packet Grilled Mediterranean Halibut. I also love cooking side dishes in foil. This Grilled Parmesan Asparagus is one of my favorite ways to eat asparagus. So tasty!
A great side dish to serve with the grilled chicken fajitas tostadas is quinoa with black beans. That recipe comes from Skinny Ms. and it's SO delicious.
