Weeknight Warrior: Smoky Chicken Fajita Bowls

I FINALLY wrote down my fajita recipe!  I make fajitas and tacos of all kinds all the time so I don’t even have to think about it but I definitely wanted to share.  My homemade Mexican seasoning has smoked paprika and I finish the fajitas with a big splash of mezcal to up the smoky…
