Chicken Fajitas



Saute in fry pan:
Boneless, skinless, chicken breasts cut into thin strips
2 Tbsp. olive oil
couple dashes of garlic salt
several dashes of McCormick "perfect pinch" Cajun seasoning (good stuff, adds a nice kick of flavor)


Cover, and cook for about 10 mins. over medium-high heat until done.

Then, add:
1 lg. sliced Vidalia onion (sweet onion)
2 lg. red peppers, sliced into thin strips (Yellow is yummy too)
1 lg. green pepper, sliced into thin strips

Saute until vegees are tender.

Serve with sour cream, sliced avocados, and taco sauce. We like to pull out all the fixins: grated cheddar, chopped roma tomatoes, and shredded lettuce (when we have it). Oh, and Jacks Special salsa, from Costco --love that salsa!

Last night I made this and even attempted to make my own flour tortillas. My family thought I was losing my mind but they were impressed. They have a special flour mixture you can buy at the store to make tortillas with. You just need to roll them super thin so they don't turn out like thick, salty pancakes. I found it easier to roll them out once, set aside and let rest for a few minutes, and then roll them out again. Today a bought flour to make my own corn tortillas. :) I figured this could be an essential food storage item! If we don't have bread we can at least heat up tortillas and open a can of refried beans or chili. If nomads can live off of this stuff than so can we! I think I may set up a grinding stone in my backyard soon. ;)
