Chicken Fajitas


This is the first recipe that is completely mine. Not based on inspiration from anyone or anyplace. I've been making this recipe for awhile, and have pretty much determined what we like best. I tried those fajitas seasoning packets you can buy in the store, but prefer just to use our own seasonings. You can change up the colors of peppers, to make the meal look prettier! We've used orange and yellow before, but stuck with green and red this time. You could also put salsa on them, but usually there is enough flavor without.

Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 3 peppers, cut into thin strips (I used 2 green and one red)
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin strips
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • tortilla shells, taco size
  • shredded mexican cheese
  • sour cream

Preparation
  • Pour a little oil into skillet. Add chicken, and salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  • Add peppers and onions to skillet. Add a little more salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened and onions are translucent.
  • Add the chili powder, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Cook a couple more minutes, making sure seasonings are evenly distributed.
  • Serve on tortilla shells and top with cheese and sour cream.
