Grek-Mex Chicken Fajitas
In the Foods that Unite Us episode of My Greek Table, Season 4, Grek-Mex Chicken Fajitas is a favorite recipe mostly because the marriage of Greek and Mexican cuisines is becoming all the more popular in Athens. The two culinary traditions, despite being on opposite sides of the globe, complement each other beautifully. This recipe is also chock full of sponsors’ products, from the pre-cooked Mediterranean chicken strips by Grecian Delight - Kronos, to the plain Meltemi Greek Yogurt, to the crumbled Dodoni Feta!
