Chicken Fajitas 

Chicken Fajitas is a super easy meal to put together, and it is very it doesn't have to be made with only chicken. You can use beef, or shrimp. You can season the chicken with the spices, place it in a bowl or bag and pour in lemon juice. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and allow marinating for 1 to 4 hours. Discard the juice in the bag or bowl and then prepare as directed below. Do not add any more lemon juice at the end of the cooking time.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. or 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
1 onion, sliced thin
3 sweet peppers, sliced thin
2 jalapeños, finely chopped (optional)
2 Tbs. oil
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 Tbs. chili powder
1/2 Tbs. cumin
2 Tbs. lemon juice
shredded cheese
6 - 8 inch flour tortillas

Directions

Cut the chicken breast meat into thin strips.

In a bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.

Add the chicken into the bowl of spices. Turn to coat the chicken evenly.

In a heavy cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion, sweet peppers and jalapeños.  Cook until they are crisp-tender.  Remove the vegetables, or push them to one side of the skillet. Add half of the chicken to the skillet and cook until done, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Remove from skillet. Fry the remaining chicken until done. 

Return the rest of the chicken, and the vegetables, to the skillet. Stir in the lemon juice and heat through.  

Spoon the chicken and vegetables on to warmed tortillas. You can add some cheese with the chicken if desired. Fold the fajita in half and serve with desired toppings.
