These fajitas are perfect! The Mexican chicken is marinated in Mexican flavors that are delicious and savory. Add peppers, onions, shredded cheese and anything you wish to these fajitas and it will be a dinner your entire family will enjoy!
Slice your peppers and onions into thin strips. You can use green, red, orange or yellow peppers.
In a seperate pan, on medium-low heat, add your olive oil and then your peppers and onions. Saute for a few minutes, then add your butter and finish sauteing until they are cooked to your liking. I like mine crisp-tender where they still have a crunch to them, but cook them as long as you like, then remove from the heat.
Heat your tortillas if desired so they are more soft and pliable. See Notes
Assemble your chicken fajitas any way you like. We like to serve ours with some sour cream, guacamole, the chicken, peppers and onions and cheese stuffed in a flour tortilla.
Notes
This recipe makes about 8 fajitas, but will vary greatly depending on how much chicken, peppers and onions you use in each tortilla.
For my chicken fajitas I like to use my Mexican Chicken Marinade to season the chicken, because it has the perfect blend of seasonings. But you can use any flavoring you like.
You can use any peppers you like. I like red and green the best. You can also use any type of onion you prefer as well.
Mushrooms are delicious in these fajitas but cook very fast, so add them in at the very last minute if cooking them with the peppers.
I cook my peppers and onions in a separate pan. I do this because when I cook them with the chicken I always overcook them and they are more "steamed" and end up soft and mushy and I prefer mine crisp-tender. I have found I have more control over the cooking of the peppers and onions and get them just right every time if cooked separate. If you do not want to cook your peppers and onions in a separate pan like I do, toss the peppers and onions in with the chicken when the chicken is almost done and cook the peppers to your liking.
I like my tortillas warmed for serving. You can do this in the microwave for 15 seconds then place them in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm. You can also place them in a non-stick skillet on medium-low heat and heat them one at a time, then place them in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm. (If you have a tortilla warmer use that!) 6. You can use any toppings/stuffings you want.
