Chicken Fajita (Lebanese snack food style)

A Lebanese chicken fajita is a fan favorite sandwich because it gives you that kick of spicy and the drip of cheese and sauce! Yum, right?

When I went to Lebanon this past summer we stopped at a snack grill place after a long beach day, yes with our partly sandy swimsuits, and I ordered a chicken fajita. I wasn’t really impressed with the amount of chicken in the sandwich, haha but I liked the combination of flavors. So here is my copy cat recipe, I hope you like it!
