Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp fajita seasoning, (I use the brand name Trade East. It is a dry seasoning mix like taco seasoning called Mesquite Herb
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lb skinless chicken breasts, boneless, cut in 1/2" by 3" strips
- 1 large spanish onion, sliced,
- 2 large green, sliced, red or yellow bell peppers
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 1 salt
- 1 pepper
- 8 flour tortillas 10"
- 1 lettuce, optional
- 1 tomato, optional
- 1 sour cream, optional
- 1 cheddar cheese, shredded, optional
Directions
Combine water and fajita seasoning in a medium sized bowl to create a marinade.Put the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat 2 large skillets on medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in each.
Drain the marinated chicken and cook in one of the skillets until caramelized and no longer pink in the center.
In the other skillet saute the peppers, onions and garlic until crisp tender.
Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper as desired during the cooking process.
Combine the cooked chicken, peppers and onions into one skillet and cook together for a few minutes to marry the flavors.
Warm tortillas according to package directions.
Serve the chicken mixture on the warmed tortilla shells with desired optional toppings.
Sliced mushrooms can be cooked with the peppers and onions in step 2 as a variation.
Steak could also be substituted for the chicken.
