Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Mexican food! Not only is it pretty easy and cheap to make, its also REALLY REALLY GOOD! When ever I’m out at a Mexican restaurant, one of my favorite things to see being delivered to a table is fajitas! They are so fun to hear sizzling and they smell delicious! So I then started my quest to find a good “make at home” recipe.

This recipe is a no-fuss recipe. If you want to get all fancy with the sizzling skillet and all that jazz, feel free! Usually I’m so hungry and drooling during the cooking process that I want immediate gratification so straight from the pan to my plate they go. Also, the seasonings are approximate and can be adjusted according to how bold you want your flavor.  If you don’t have the spices on had at home, feel free to use a package of taco or fajita seasoning – I just prefer to steer clear of those due to the preservatives and sodium. Here’s how to make em’!

Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

1 red and green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

1 large or two medium onions, cut in half and then sliced

vegetable oil

seasoning  (mix 1 tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, dash of red pepper flakes, dash of oregano)

tortilla shells

toppings (sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, cheese, salsa, etc.)

Directions

In a large skillet heated to medium-high, drizzle a little bit of veggie oil (enough to very thinly coat the pan) and add the chicken strips.

Add the peppers and onions to the chicken, sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top, and then toss around to combine.

Saute the chicken and veggies until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers/onions start to soften but still remain slightly crisp.

Add the cooked and seasoned chicken/pepper/onion mixture to the center of warm tortillas and top with your favorite toppings.

Serve with Cold Tex Mex Succotash for extra fun!

Enjoy!

Much Love,
