Chicken Fajitas


It had been a while since we made fajitas so here they are; I generally don't use a recipe to make them but I found a great mix of spices in my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook so I used that to flavor them (and had to add a little extra salt).

1 red or white onion, sliced
1 red or green pepper (or both) chopped
1/2 lb mushrooms
1 lb chicken, cut into small strips
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
cooking oil
fajita seasoning
uncooked tortillas

Fajita seasoning:
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder

Pre-heat cooking oil in a large skillet (1-2 Tbsp) and add onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add chicken to skillet along with fajita seasoning mix and cook until there is no pink left in the chicken. Add salt to taste (I added about 1 tsp more). Fry tortillas in a separate pan with a little bit of cooking oil. These fajitas are great served with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese.
