Chicken Fajitas

My oldest daughter has never been much of a meat eater until recently. Ever since I started this challenge of cooking homemade meals instead of just using pre-portioned seasoning packs I have seen her devour meat. Who would have known it would have just been the simplest change to get her to eat it.

Tonight we whipped up some fajitas with refried beans for dinner. For once she ate her chicken before she started her sides. I don't think I have seen her do that before. This mom is proud of how well she is doing with trying new things.
