Family Friendly Fajitas Recipe

If the chicken is frozen, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave 3 minutes, uncovered, on high, to begin defrosting. Meanwhile, heat the oil on medium in an extra-deep, 12-inch, nonstick skillet. Peel the onion, cut it in half and slice the halves into 1/4-inch crescent-shaped slices. Add them to the skillet and cook, stirring from time to time, while measuring the spices into a gallon-size, zipper-top plastic bag.

Slice the chicken into 1/4-inch strips, and place them in the bag. Shake the bag to coat the chicken strips with spices and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse and seed the bell peppers and cut them into 1/4-inch strips. When the chicken is no longer pink outside, add the pepper strips to the pan. Let the mixture cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are crisp-tender and the chicken is not longer pink in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes.

When the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the heat, and squeeze the juice from the lime half directly over the skillet. Stir well.

Just before serving, heat the tortillas in the microwave according to the package directions. Serve at once by letting each person assemble fajitas with toppings added to personal preference.
