Fajita Tacos

I may be a little redundant with this name, but these weren’t fajitas, and they weren’t tacos. They were both. And they were seriously yummy. I used leftover chicken, onions, and green peppers from fajitas, and combined them with some black beans, Mexi-rice and corn, and cheese, and all my favorite taco toppings to make a fast and easy lunch. I prepared these on a pancake griddle using corn tortillas.
