Who doesn't love Chicken Fajitas?
So simple and CrAzY delicious!!
Here's what you need:
- 2 lbs. or 4 Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breast (for those watching their weight like myself)
Flattened and cut into fajita strips (aka long skinny strips)
- Veggies (what ever you like)
I use green and red bell peppers. I also used 1 sweet Vidalia onion and sliced up one avocado for toppings. Lettuce, tomatoes if desired for toppings.
- 1 package of taco seasoning
- Whole wheat or flour tortillas
- Reduced or Fat Free Sour Cream
- Salsa
- 1/2 tsp. lime juice (I use fresh lime but you can use concentrate.)
- Canola, or olive oil (whatever you have on hand)
- Colby Jack shredded cheese (whatever you like or have on hand)
- Jalapenos (if you like heat)
**ONLY NEED ONE COOKING PAN
Here's what you do:
SLICE IT UP!! I slice up all veggies long & skinny. I slice the chicken the same way so that everything is like the fajitas at a mexican restaurant.
*After slicing the avocado, I sprinkle lime juice on it to reduce browning. It also brings avocado flavor beautifully!!
You can also slice up lettuce & tomato so all slicing is done. :)
Saute veggies with canola oil until almost done. Remove from heat and set aside.
Saute chicken with oil until almost done. Then sprinkle 1/2 to 3/4 of taco seasoning onto the chicken and allow to cook until chicken is fully cooked. Add a couple teaspoons of water if needed. Add veggies back into the chicken and mix until everything has a nice seasoned coating.
Assemble fajitas and enjoy!! They are SO GOOD!! Inexpensive and nutritious. You can add a side dish if you'd like (I suggest black beans or spanish rice) but we ate fajitas alone and loaded up with veggies to get full. :)
