Thaw. Sauté meat in oil, if any meat pre-cooked, sauté the uncooked meat first, then adding other just before spices. Add spice pack, onions, and peppers, Serve with sour cream, cheese, and olives. Avocados or mangos may be added as well.

I am excited to try out the freezer meal concept. It would be nice to have expiration dates with each recipe! Keep the awesome ideas coming!!
monthGreat idea Darlene. I will tell you most freezer meals do great for an average of 6 months.
This one turned out really well. I put the chicken, onions and peppers altogether and it worked fine. It made my list of keeper recipes. =)
So thrilled to hear that you like the fajita recipe. Glad you found it.
1 family is considered how many servings?
Usually 4, but if you have small kiddos, maybe 6.
I was wondering how do you keep the onions from getting soggy after they thaw. I froze some bell peppers and onions together in an vacuum bag and the onions “wilted”, should I just try a regular freezer bag next time?
Ashley-
The best thing to do is to put the peppers into saute before they thaw. If you allow them to thaw the liquid all comes out and they get soggy sitting in the juices.
