1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder

4 teaspoons garlic salt
½ cup water

Once your quick release is complete, remove the lid from your pot, spoon your fajita filling into your tortillas and garnish with the toppings of your choice.

Notes

Storage: Place your fajita mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Or, freeze for up to 4 months.

Reheating: If frozen, thaw completely overnight. Warm the chicken and veggie mixture in the microwave, throw it into a warm tortilla and top with salsa and sour cream.

Meal Prep: Cook the fajita mixture according to the directions and store 4-6 individual portions in meal prep containers. When it's time to eat, just pull one out of the fridge and enjoy cold or heat up in the microwave.
