The purpose of What’s For Dinner? is to provide you a recipe with items on sale this week, with no more than 10 ingredients (not including pantry items), and coming in at under $10 per meal.
It was about a year ago that Hubs and I went an our Texas Road-Trip and experience first-hand some of the best roadside BBQ joints in the nation. (Seriously, I think I gained 10 lbs on that trip and a whole appreciation for Jalapeno Sausage.)
As chicken is on sale EVERYWHERE this week – I thought I would give an shout out to my Texas vacation and my favorite fajita recipe ever.
