Make these bite size easy chicken fajita cups for a party or to entice those little ones to try something new! My kids don't eat Mexican food as much as I'd like so often times I introduce them to different flavors. This is the perfect way to do that!
These bite size fajita cups are so fun to eat. I love traditional fajitas, but my kids not so much. This is a great way for them to give bell peppers a try and to enjoy a crunch when they bite into the phyllo cups. I mean, aren't they just so cute?
