easy recipe for dinner when you don't feel like cooking....

Chicken fajitas:

boneless, skinless chicken breast..fat trimmed, filleted in half, and cut into thin strips
onion cut with the grain to make strips
bell pepper cut into thin strips
sea or kosher salt
black pepper
granulated garlic
olive oil
low carb, high fiber tortillas
can of "el pato" tomato sauce. If you cant find that, throw in your favorite salsa. el pato is the bomb though if you can find it in the latino isle. (A small yellow can)

I like to use cast iron when I do fajitas...just like restaurants
Get the pan hot, drop in the olive oil just before adding the chicken, cook about half way through, then drop the veggies.
Add the sauce, salt, garlic, pepper and stir fry until done..about 5 minutes or so.
Slap your 3 to 4 ounces on that wrap and voila. Easy peezy Mexiceezy.
*If you happen to find the sauce I use, it's a little spicy. Maybe a little too much for little ones.

what brand tortilla do you guys use? I've only ever seen the el paso brand in Jamaica and thats not really low carb.

I got some medium sized "Don Pancho" tortillas from Walmart. They have 4 grams of fiber, 6 grams net carbs, and 5 grams of protein. Not bad at all to cure that Mexican food craving without the guilt. Taste pretty good too.

It would be nice if you could tag on this site, it would be easier to navigate any time someone used your name or replied to you.

Can't wait to have a fajita. One of my favorites. Thanks for the recipe

I like to take the easy way out and bake mine instead of frying it. I slice all my veggies and chicken, put them in a baking dish with taco or fajita seasoning enough water to cover the bottom and bake it on 375 for 25 to 30 minutes. YUM. I can usually get some house work done while it is baking LOL

Nothing wrong with easy
If I'm really wanting them to be good, I'll BBQ the chicken breast, bring it back in the house, cover with foil and cook the onions and bell peppers in my cast iron pan until they carmelize. Then slice up the grilled chicken, toss it back in the pan and add the sauce. That's my favorite way

I cut up stewed tomatoes and added a little bit fresh garlic.

If you can find it...try what I recommended. It's the shit.

Dude, I looked. I don't live in an ethnic food friendly area. When I move, I hope to find more and have more options for shopping.

Thanks, when I can introduce soft proteins, that is 1 recipe I gotta try.
....oh yeah, and a little Sriracha (or other hot) sauce on top.
