Chicken Fajitas!

This photo does not do justice the the deliciousness of this dish.
I love fajitas. Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant, I order the chicken fajitas and excitingly await the arrival of the steaming hot metal skillet, loudly sizzling with an assortment of red and green vegetables and meat. Served with flour tortilla and a variety of condiments, this build-it-yourself meal is simply mouth watering. Although this interpretation of the dish is extremely Americanized, the Tex-Mex flair allows it to easily become an quick homemade dish that involves the most simplest of ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/2 green pepper
- 1/3 cooking onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning
- Two flour tortilla
- Lettuce
- Grated cheddar cheese
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
Directions:
Cut your peppers, chicken and onion into strips about 3 inches long, 1/2 inch wide. In a sauce pan over medium heat, fry the chicken in olive oil until no longer pink (trick to cooking chicken: wait until the pan has heated up before putting the chicken in). Add a spoonful of water to the chicken and sprinkle half of the Old Eld Paso seasoning in and stir.
Add in the peppers and onion, mix together, then add the remains of the seasoning along with another spoonful of water. Fry together until the onion is slightly brown and the peppers have softened. If you have chili pepper flakes or chili powder, add them to the mix for a kick of spice. Once done, take the pan off the stove top and immediately transfer onto a flour tortilla. Top it off with shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese. Roll it up like a wrap and enjoy! Also delicious with an avocado or guacamole.
Ready to eat!
