Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas

Everyone loves Chicken Fajitas, veggie fajitas are also quite delicious. I used to buy the little packets for seasoning them until I found this recipe. It is so much better than any packet. The cilantro and citrus flavors meld very well. Plus, a lot of those seasoning packets have msg, so this is definitely the way to go. Enjoy!



1 t dry or fresh minced garlic
1 t dry minced onion
3/4 t ground cumin
3/4 t oregano leaves
1/2 t dry or a bunch of fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 t coarse ground black pepper
1/4 C each lime and orange juices
2 T olive oil
1/2 t salt
1 lb chicken breast cut into strips (or try omitting the meat and added extra peppers)
1 green bell pepper cut into thin strips
1 red/orange/yellow bell pepper cut into thin strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
10 fresh whole wheat tortillas (the kind you find by the cheese section that you cook on your skillet at home)
tomatoes
cheese
lettuce
light sour cream
salsa

Mix juices, oil, and all of spices and salt in small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 min or longer for extra flavor.
Cook and stir chicken in large skillet on medium-high heat til lightly browned. Remove from skillet. Add peppers and onion and reserved marinade; cook and stir 5 min or until tender. Return chicken to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
Cook tortillas on griddle. Spoon chicken mixture into warmed tortillas. Serve with tomato, lettuce, light sour cream, and salsa.
