Chicken Fajitas

I've been looking for some different dinner ideas to mix things up a bit.  This was my first time making fajitas!  I adapted a recipe that I found online, and I was very happy with how these turned out.  Here is my simple recipe for a great fajita dinner.

Ingredients:

8 boneless chicken tenders, cut into thinner strips
Packet of fajita seasoning, store-bought
1 tsp. Cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice from 1/2 of a lemon
4 tbsp. Olive oil
1 onion (I used a yellow onion)
3 small peppers of your choice (I used a pablano and 2 jalapenos)
6 tortilla shells, soft
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

First, I mixed up a marinade for the chicken.  In a large ziploc bag, add the olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, and garlic.  Add the chicken pieces, making sure first that they have been cut into thin strips.  Refrigerate for about an hour.  While this is marinating, slice the peppers and onion into thin pieces.

When the chicken is done marinating, add a drizzle of olive oil to a pan and bring it to medium heat.  Now, cook the chicken pieces until they are cooked through.  When the chicken is almost cooked, add the seasoning packet and 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Let this simmer for 5 more minutes. When done, I poured this into a colendar to let the extra oil rinse out. 

In a skillet pan, put the onions and peppers in with another drizzle of olive oil and saute on medium heat.  Meanwhile, heat the tortilla shells in the microwave for about 45 seconds.  

Place chicken, onions and peppers into a tortilla, sprinkle on some cheddar cheese,  and add extras such as sour cream if you'd like.  Enjoy!
