Father's Day Fiesta

(Daddy is in the background watching his MotoGP races.)

For Father's Day yesterday I surprised my dad with a Father's Day dinner. I made chicken fajitas. Please don't ridicule me for cooking meat. My father eats meat. It was Father's Day, not Kittie's day. That was Thursday. Yes, I hate handling raw meat but it was a gift.
I made the guacamole, pico de gallo, refried beans, and Mexican rice from scratch. I bought a seasoning for the chicken but I ended up adding too much water so I ditched it and made my own.

I don't like seasoning things that I can't taste test but that's the deal when I make meat. Because of that, I have gotten pretty good at smelling how much spice is right for the meat. The boys always like it so that's good.
