🥬Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
1.5 lbs chicken breast or thighs (sliced into strips)
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
1 large red onion
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar)
8–10 small flour or corn tortillas

Optional: jalapeño, sour cream, salsa
👩🍳Step-by-Step: Fajita Casserole in 4 Cranks
1. Slice Veggies Like a Pro
Lock your cheese grater rotary with suction base.
Slicing blade: Feed bell peppers → crank for thin, charred-ready strips.
Repeat with red onion → delicate ribbons that melt into the sauce.
2. Sear the Flavor
Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet. Toss in sliced peppers and onions—uniform cuts mean fast, even cooking. Add chicken strips and fajita seasoning. Stir until chicken is golden and veggies soften.
3. Layer the Love
Tear tortillas into quarters and tuck between chicken and veggies.
Coarse shred blade: Switch and shower fluffy cheese over the top.
4. Bake & Broil
Pop skillet in the oven until cheese bubbles. Switch to broil for a golden crown. Squeeze lime, sprinkle cilantro. Serve straight from the pan with extra tortillas.
