Chicken Fajitas Recipe

A very popular food from Tex-Mex cuisine is the fajita. My personal favorite is chicken fajitas of course. Traditionally the fajita is made with skirt steak and if you don’t want to use chicken, the steak will work great as well. In this recipe, the chicken is first marinated in a blend of seasonings and then sautéed in the pan. You could also leave the chicken breasts whole, marinate them, grill them and slice them up into strips. Sliced onions and green peppers are then cooked in the pan and tossed with the meat. The vegetables can also be grilled as well. For the condiments, you can really add whatever you want. Some choices would be Sour cream, tomato, guacamole, Mexican rice, and cheese. This is a very simple and easy recipe that takes very little time. If you are looking for a quick meal, this is perfect for you. Enjoy.
