Fajitas


Fajitas are so good and so easy! They are definitely a staple recipe in my family!


To make 2 to 3 servings of fajitas you will need:
  • 1 BELL PEPPER, sliced into strips
  • 1 ONION, sliced into strips
  • CHICKEN BREAST, sliced into strips
  • 4-6 FLOUR TORTILLAS
Seasoning mix:
  • 3/4 tsp CUMIN
  • 1/2 tsp CHILI POWDER
  • 1/4 tsp PAPRIKA
  • 1/4 tsp CAYENNE
  • 1/4 tsp GARLIC POWDER
  • 1/4 tsp SALT

Start off by cutting the pepper, onion, and chicken into slices. Easy peasy! Then throw the onion and pepper into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the veggies until they start to wilt a little bit. Toss them occasionally so they don't burn on one side! 

(This is where personal preference comes in a little bit though. If you like your fajitas to have really caramelized onions and peppers, then cook them longer on their own. If you like the veggies to still have a little bit of a crunch to them, then just cook them until they just start to wilt. They will continue cooking after the chicken has been added in.) 


Once the onions and peppers have cooked for a bit, throw the chicken in the skillet! Keep tossing everything occasionally to make sure the ingredients cook evenly. (I know, throwing raw chicken into a pan with veggies might be weird to some people. It was hard for me at first too! But don't worry, everything will get cooked!)


While the chicken is cooking, measure out the spice mix. Set aside until the chicken is cooked.


Once the chicken is cooked through, sprinkle the spice mix over the onions, peppers, and chicken strips. Keep tossing the ingredients until everything has a good coating of spices!


Just before serving, steam the tortillas. I usually roll a damp paper towel up in a tortilla and then microwave it for about 30 seconds. When everything is cooked and the tortilla are steamed, serve it up!
