Chicken Fajitas

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 Yellow Onions, sliced in 1/2 inch rings
2 Green Bell Peppers, seeded & sliced into 1/2 inch strips
1 Pepper, seeded, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
Optional: 1 Jalapeno Pepper, seeded & chopped fine (this will add fire - omit if milder fajitas are preferred)
3 to 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, sliced into strips 1/2 x 2 inch
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 cup Fresh, Mild Salsa
1 package Fresh, Large Flour Tortillas
 
   
Preparation:  
   

Saute onions and peppers in oil over medium heat until onions are translucent. Increase heat to high and add chicken and saute quickly until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, cumin and salsa and turn heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Heat tortillas by either 1) putting 3 (2 inch) slits in top of plastic tortilla bag and heat on high in microwave for 3 minutes or 2) wrap tortillas in foil and heat in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Serve fajitas by placing 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in center of tortilla that is warm, add desired condiments and fold edges over center and roll up tortilla burrito-style.

Serve with:
Freshly grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Guacamole
Chopped fresh tomatoes
Fresh salsa
Sour cream
