Fajitas

Mom, Mindy and Emily share how to make their fabulous homemade chicken fajitas.

Fajitas can be made with chicken or beef. We like to marinate the thinly sliced beef or chicken strips with some sort of mix like Penzey's fajita seasoning mix for several hours.

Add a small amount of olive oil to a large fry pan. Add the meat and stir fry until meat is tender and done. Remove from pan and set aside, covered to keep warm.

Slice green, red, yellow, and/or orange bell peppers thinly. Slice an onion into thin slices; sweet ones are good, but any kind will work. Add the veggies to the fry pan and stir fry until tender. We like them cooked to crisp-tender, but you can cook them longer if you prefer. Add the meat to the pan to warm. Serve with warm tortillas. Roll to eat.
