2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, sliced in 1/2 inch rings
2 green bell peppers, seeded & sliced into 1/2 inch strips
1 Anaheim pepper, seeded, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
Optional: 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded & chopped fine (this will add
fire - omit if milder fajitas are preferred)
3 to 4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1/2 x 2 inch
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 c. fresh, mild salsa
1 pkg. fresh, lg. flour tortillas
CONDIMENTS:
Freshly grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Guacamole
Chopped fresh tomatoes
Fresh salsa
Sour cream
Sauté onions and peppers in oil over medium heat until onions are
translucent. Increase heat to high and add chicken and sauté quickly
until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add
salt, pepper, cumin and salsa and turn heat to low. Simmer for 5
minutes. Heat tortillas by either
1) putting 3 (2 inch) slits in top of plastic tortilla bag and heat
on high in microwave for 3 minutes or
2) wrap tortillas in foil and heat in 350 degree oven for 10
minutes. Serve fajitas by placing 1/4 cup of chicken
mixture in centre of tortilla that is warm, add desired condiments
and fold edges over center and roll up tortilla burrito-style.
