Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

If you like this recipe, take a look at these similar recipes: Fast Fajita Pita, Skirt Steak Fajita Pita with Chimichurri, and Fajita Burgers and Pita Chips with Black Bean Hummus.

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Fajitas. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Adelsheim Pinot Noir ( half-bottle) with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Adelsheim Pinot Noir ( half-bottle)

With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas pf candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices likw nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice. True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polishedtannins. Pair it with salmon, ahi, veal, pork, poultry (think duck), beefor hearty vegetarian entrees.

Instructions

In a small pan, put in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add in a touch of salt to flavor, and stir in the rice. Keep on medium heat and stir occasionally while the rice cooks. Once the rice has absorbed all of the chicken broth, stir in the black beans. Bring a small skillet up to medium heat, add in the Tyson Grilled & Ready strips, and allow to cook about 3-5 minutes per side. For folks who want an extra "POW!" this is the perfect time to dice up some green pepper and onion and add to the skillet. Watch until they are golden on the outside. I take them off of the heat and mix them in with the rice and bean mixture.
