Chicken Fajitas

Prepare one batch of Tortillas: Tex-Mex style

• Follow directions to make twenty 5” tortillas

• OR use pre-packaged flour tortillas (Mission brand recommended)

Prepare one single batch of Fajita Seasoning

• OR if you’ve got some mix already prepared

• OR use a packet of Fajita Seasoning Mix

To a large [non-stick] skillet, heated to medium, add:

1 Tbsp oil

~1 cup red bell pepper, julienned

~1 cup green bell pepper, julienned

~1 cup onions, julienned

Sauté until crisp-tender. Transfer to serving dish & cover to retain heat. Set aside.

To that same skillet, heated to medium, add:

1 tsp oil

1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1/2” strips

Cook chicken, turning frequently, until it is evenly browned (~8 minutes). Reduce heat to medium-low and add:

1/4 cup chicken broth

~1 Tbsp fajita seasoning mix

Stir together well. Cover and simmer for ~2-4 minutes, stirring periodically, until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken cooks, prepare serving platter:

Tortillas, warmed

Sautéd onions & peppers

Sour Cream

Salsa

Guacamole

Tomatoes, diced

Lettuce, shredded

Cheese, grated

Transfer cooked chicken to serving dish* and serve hot.

Brenda’s tips:

• Serving size: 4

• *Recommended to cook everything in a non-stick skillet and, while cooking, heat an empty cast iron skillet in the oven at 300F. Once chicken is cooked, remove cast iron skillet from oven, add ~1 tsp of oil to coat bottom. Pour cooked chicken into hot cast iron skillet to serve.

Fajita Seasoning

We’ve written this recipe in two ways:

1. Single batch

2. Enough to fill a spice jar (6 batches)

If you’re making enough to fill a spice jar, we recommend reusing an empty one. You’ll be glad you’ve made extra when you’re looking for a quick lunch or dinner idea.
