How To Preserve Leftovers

In the Refrigerator

Allow the baked chicken fajitas to cool entirely, then move the chicken, peppers, and onions to a sealed container.

Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Tip: Keep the fajita mix apart from tortillas to prevent them from becoming soggy.

In the Freezer

Let the chicken fajitas cool completely and place them in freezer-safe containers or sturdy freezer bags.

Store in the freezer for no longer than 3 months for optimal flavor and texture.

Tip: Freeze in meal-sized servings to thaw only what is necessary. Eliminate as much air as possible to avert freezer burn.

Reheating Suggestions

Microwave – Ideal for Individual Servings

Put the chicken fajita mixture in a microwave-safe dish. Cover it loosely.

Heat in 60-90 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully warmed. Add a slight splash of water if necessary to prevent the chicken from drying.

Stovetop – Best for Consistency

Transfer leftovers to a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until adequately warmed.

Add a bit of water if necessary to loosen the mixture and maintain its juiciness.

Oven – For Larger Portions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Move fajitas to an oven-safe container and cover with foil.

Heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through if possible.

From Frozen

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

Reheat using the stovetop or microwave. If heating from frozen, use low heat and allow extra time, stirring occasionally for even warming.
