Chicken Fajitas

The other day I realized that I hadn’t made chicken fajitas for way too long.  They are seriously amazing and my whole family LOVES them!  It’s now on our regular rotation for dinner… again.  (Forgive the picture.  I didn’t stage it.  Just took a pic last minute :))

 

• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 1/3 c. lemon juice (or juice of 1 fresh lemon)
• 1 large onion, diced
• salt to taste (about 1/2 tsp.)
• 2 tsp. chili powder (or more if you prefer, we keep it right at 2)
• 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 c. cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 red pepper, cut into strips
• 1 green pepper, cut into strips
• tortillas

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, onion, salt, chili powder, oregano, and thyme in a large frying pan.  Cook over medium heat until onion is tender but still has a bit of a crunch.  Add garlic.  Add chicken and cover to cook for about 10-15 minutes. 

Add peppers and toss until they are still crisp but tender.  You don’t want them to be mushy.

Serve on warmed tortillas with your choice of garnishments:  cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
