Ah, yes! Summer--when I actually have time and energy to cook an actual meal. The last couple of days have been spent baking like a madwoman. I love homemade white bread, so that's what I've been supplying our family with. Consider it my contribution to the family budget and health.
Back to tonight's dinner--fajitas! These were great and easy to prepare. We used corn tortillas instead of flour.
Chicken Fajitas (can substitute steak or turkey)
What's Needed:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 T. canola oil
2 C. frozen bell pepper strips, defrosted
1 medium onion, thinkly sliced and separated into rings
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 T. minced cilantro
1/4 C. lime juice
8 flour (or corn) tortillas (6 inches), warmed
1. In a large, nonstick skillet, saute chicken in oil for 2 minutes.
2. Add peppers, onion, garlic, salt, cumin, pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and peppers are crisp-tender. Stir in cilantro and lime juice; cook 1 minute longer. Serve in tortillas.
