Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rather than using shredded lettuce, place a whole lettuce leaf on top of a warm tortilla and cover with the chicken and other vegetables.
  • tip 2
    Condiments to serve with fajitas include guacamole, Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chilies, sour cream and/or shredded cheese.
