Chicago Meat Authority (CMA) is proud to introduce Chipotle Pork Fajita Strips into its extensive line of pork and beef items. These pork fajita strips are one-half inch by one-half inch by three inches, and are cut from lean, boneless pork, marinated with CMA’s Chipotle marinade for flavor. Since this product’s raw material is lean pork, it is a healthier alternative to beef fajitas at an excellent price point. Chipotle Pork Fajita Strips are grill-ready and thus ideal for quick cook applications. They are vacuum-packed in 2.5-pound frozen bags with four bags to a 10-pound case. Whether adding a pork fajita dinner or a pork fajita salad to your menu, Chipotle Pork Fajita Strips are definitely a way to add a unique item.
