This Chicken Fajita Pasta Salad was AMAZING! It is packed full of great flavor and is super easy to make. You can even make this ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. If you do make this ahead of time, don’t add the Doritos until you are ready to serve. The chips will get soggy and nobody wants to eat soggy Doritos!
