Chicken Fajitas


Chicken Fajitas 



I am from New Mexico. I have been raised on the BEST mexican food there is. The closest you will find to actual food in Mexico. I have had both. I like both. They do have their differences but who cares! As long as its spicy, am I right? haha! This is my mom's recipe, and hers will always be better, but I like to think mine is pretty close!


INGREDIENTS:
  1. 2 tablespoons of Lime Juice
  2. 1 teaspoon of Salt
  3. 1 medium Onion, cut into small slices
  4. 1 Green Bell Pepper
  5. 2-3 Boneless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1 inch strips.
  6. 1 tablespoon of oil
DIRECTIONS:
  1. I put all the onion and meat in a bowl and then add the Lime Juice and salt into the bowl and mix it up while your skillet is heating. Put your skillet on medium. Then pour all the contents that's in the bowl into the skillet.
  2. Cook for 10 minutes, stir every few minutes.
  3. Add the green bell peppers the last two minutes.
  4. Cook until the meat is done and the peppers are some what tender.
EXTRAS:

      Tortillas: You can just eat with cold tortillas, but I like to get a separate, smaller skillet and put it on 3, then heat the tortillas for 5-10 seconds on each side. You could just microwave them but it changes the texture of the tortilla. It becomes harder to eat, almost stretchy.
     NOTES: I used a 2 eye skillet the last time I made this and it seemed to work pretty well also.
                    You can also use steak, same directions.
