Skillet Chicken Fajitas-Your new favorite Mexican fajitas. Probably.

For the dozen (probably less) of people who actually read this, I haven't died. :)

I have a plan to post new updated recipes of all the stuff I *get* to alter based on my FISP* life.

For example, tonight I made Kim Friendly Fajitas. They were awesome. I did not take pictures.  Imagine, if you will, delicious spicy orange and red peppers and chicken covered in spices and cilantro, with a hint of lime. Here is the recipe as I made it.  Link to original recipe (and pictures that are far fancier than anything I could take) here.

Skillet Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast
2 T fresh cilantro (I never measure, I just grab a chunk of cilantro and chop)
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp hot sauce (the only hot sauce I can use is Crystal's Hot Sauce and I put it on EVERYTHING)
1/2 tsp chili powder (I also have to buy special chili powder-ancho is my fav but warning: it is spicy)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
juice from half of a lime
2 tsp olive oil
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 orange pepper, thinly sliced
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine ingredients from chicken through cumin. Toss the thinly sliced chicken in with the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes, covered
2. Preheat a skillet over high heat with 2 tsp of the oil
3. After the skillet is heated, add sliced peppers, chili powder and 1/2 tsp salt. This made the kitchen smoke right up, but it smelled AMAZING. Cook peppers about 4 minutes
4. Remove peppers from skillet onto a plate and set aside
5. Add another 2 tsp of oil to the skillet
6. Add the chicken fajita mixture and saute until the chicken is cooked through
7. Add the peppers back into skillet along with the lime and cook everything for another minute.

I served this over brown rice because I made tacos with leftovers for lunch, but you are all adults and can eat the fajita meat in any manner of ways. P.S. It's really good over brown rice.
