If you love fajitas and you love pasta, this recipe is for you!

Chicken fajitas are one of my favorite meals. I make them the traditional way, stove-top, as well as, on a stick and in the oven. I always make extra when I’m making chicken fajitas, the leftovers are easy to re-heat. As well, you can eat the leftovers in flour tortillas. They are also good in quesadillas or in a simple pasta salad I’m sharing now with you.

This salad recipe is a hearty no-fuss meal. Simply make extra chicken fajitas and your next meal can easily be put together in to a scrumptious pasta salad.

Chicken Fajita Pasta Salad

• This is a great recipe for Mexican Monday.
• I also serve it a lot when tailgating, men really like it because it’s full of chicken.
• Another bonus when serving it at picnics and tailgating since it’s not mayonnaise-based it can sit out longer.

I grilled extra Chicken Fajitas on a Stick when I had the grill hot in preparation for this pasta salad recipe.

I used this recipe for Fajita seasoning, you can also use store-bought.
