One of my favourite nights growing up was fajita night, and it still is to this day! As a person who lives alone, I very rarely get through a whole pack of fajita wraps without having the freeze them. I wanted a way to keep that delicious fajita flavouring, and turn it into a batch cook that I could freeze and enjoy at any time I wanted.

Personally, the next best alternative carb for me from bread is pasta. So having this one pot fajita pasta dish has been a game changer!
