One of the recipes that I had mentioned in my post was a chicken fajita recipe that I thought was really good. Honestly, I don't think this homemade recipe comes anywhere near the $10-$12 you would spend at a restaurant, and you can control the ingredients put into the recipe. If you like this recipe please let me know, and by all means share the recipe.
Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 2 tablespoons bottled lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup water or more
- 1/3 green pepper, cut into quarters, seeds and membrane removed
- 1/3 red pepper, cut into quarters, seeds and membrane removed
- 1/3 yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-wide rings, and microwaved on high for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute
- 1 fajita-size (8-inch) tortilla
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato
- 4 tablespoons guacamole
Instructions:
- Slice chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Place in a glass dish with salsa, lime juice, salt, and pepper and enough water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Into a large skillet, over high heat, pour in the liquid from the chicken and cook to reduce by half.
- Add the chicken strips and using a wide wooden spatula, toss frequently. When chicken turns opaque but is not yet thoroughly cooked, add the peppers and onion. Continue cooking and tossing the mixture.
- Cook until the liquid has evaporated and it begins to sizzle. Give one more toss and remove from heat. Serve with tortilla and condiments.
