My sister and I are always cooking and coming up with new ideas for dinner. One day we went grocery shopping with the intention of making fajitas that night we got everything but forgot to buy rice and beans and since we didn't have a side for the fajitas we ended up substituting the rice for mashed potatoes and it turn out way more tastier than we thought!!!

1

If chicken breasts, green and red bell peppers and onions aren't already chopped (diced) chop each individually then mix together.

After mixing the chicken breast with vegetables, add 3 dashes of McCormick Fajitas seasoning, then stir.
