Mild chicken fajitas (for kids to put together themselves)

This is so fun! – JD, 4

JD absolutely loves getting involved in the kitchen and regularly makes his own sandwiches, so this evening I set all the ingredients for fajitas and let him make them himself. I used a very mild blend of spices and it went down a storm.

This recipe serves four children.
