Servings: 6
Cost: $13.18 Per Recipe, $2.20 Per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts large (cut into strips)
- 3 bell peppers Cut into strips (any colors will work).
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and cut into strips
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 1 lime juiced
- 12 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Add 3 large chicken breast to a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning on top, stirring to mix.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of canola oil into the cast iron skillet and begin to heat on medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken to begin to cook. Continue to cook the chicken until it turns brown and chicken is cooked through (5-7 minutes per side). I like to cut into a piece of chicken and make sure it is no longer pink on the inside.
- Remove the chicken from the pan to a separate plate and set aside.
- Add 3 julienned bell peppers and 1 large sliced onion to the skillet.
- Continue to cook until the peppers are tender (2-4 minutes) but not limp, stirring occasionally so that they don’t burn.
- When the veggies are done, add the chicken back to the pan! Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
Serve with your favorite fajita toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, pico de gallo and sour cream!
