what side dishes would go well with chicken Fajitas?

Answer 1

As something a little different from the usual refried beans and rice, how about a good corn-bean salad?

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup Canola oil
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 cups corn kernels, fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned and drained
2 Cups canned black beans, drained
1 cup chopped sweet or mild onion
1 cup chopped bell pepper, green or red, or combination

PREPARATION:

Combine first 6 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil; remove from heat. Cool. Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; pour dressing mixture over and toss gently.

Cover and chill for 4 hours or more. Serves 6.

Answer 2

I serve them on their own but you could serve a
Watermelon Salad:
3/4 cup halved, thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 quarts seeded, cubed watermelon
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup pitted black olive halves
1 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Place the onion slices in a small bowl with the lime juice. The acid of the lime will mellow the flavor of the raw onion. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, feta cheese, black olives, onions with the lime juice, and mint. Drizzle olive oil over it all, and toss to blend. Dig in and be prepared for a pleasant surprise!
