If you are looking for any sides for fajitas for lunch/ dinner or planning to host a party at home then here are a few recipe ideas on what to serve with fajitas.
Mexican food has an array of exciting flavors. Fajitas are one of them. This Tex-Mex dish contains vibrant fajita veggies, proteins, flavorful toppings, warm homemade tortillas, etc. It's a heavenly combination of texture and flavors that make the fajitas so yummy and delectable.
Originally meat, chicken, and shrimp are used in the fajitas. But if you are vegetarian or vegan, then you can substitute meat with plant-based protein like tofu, tempeh, beans, etc. The taste remains equally great undoubtedly.
