These turned out really good! I changed the recipe a bit: Instead of 2 tbsp. chili powder, I used 1 tsp. chili powder and 1 tbsp. of cilantro. I used 2 medium onions, and 3 green peppers instead of the red/green combination. With all that dried spice, you have to be careful that it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. The leftover fajitas can be made up in the torillas and then frozen individually in plastic wrap (I added sour cream and salsa, too). Heated in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and they taste just as good!

I just made this recipe tonight, and it was excellent! I'm no expert cook either. My family loved it.

It was great. Definitely a lot of texture. You should definitely add sour cream, cheese and tabasco sauce to your personal tortilla. I made it tonight and my family loved it.

I totally enjoyed it. I didn't think it had too much chili powder. I might bust out some cilantro the next time.

The meal was quick to make and we will make it again next time. However is was so hot/spicy (way too much chili powder) that we had to add a lot of sour cream to make it edible. If you put way less chili powder I believe it makes an easy and nice meal.

This recipe was good but too much chili powder. It was more Tex than Mex as far as the flavors go. My family enjoyed it but I will keep looking for another recipe with more of an authentic mexican flair.
CDKitchen Note: Chicken fajitas are a Tex-Mex creation, not authentic to Mexico.
