20 Minute Flavorful Chicken FajitasHey peeps! Hope your enjoying back to school season. It feels great getting back into my normal routine.

Hectic mornings and even crazier evenings. By the time I pick up my daughter from school at 3, I’m seriously out of it. I usually get home and start thinking of what to cook for dinner, while she is on the side asking what’s for dinner and “are you done yet”, none stop. Like seriously.. If you have a 6 year old you know what I’m talking about.

Lucky I am obsessed with quick and easy meals. I love cooking but sometimes a girl has got to get the meal on the table ASAP.

So yea, you know where I’m headed with this. These chicken fajitas are unbelievably easy to make. Did I also mention that they take under 20 minutes from start to finish?

I made these yesterday evening and my daughter who’s not a big fan of Mexican fell in love with them. Well in her words “mommy can you make these chicken sandwiches everyday, they taste so goooood!”

Yes! I finally found something she loves. Little does she know that they are super easy to make. Muhahaha (my evil laugh ..)20 Minute Flavorful Chicken FajitasAlright let’s get cooking now, shall we?

Your going to need 2-4 chicken breasts (more or less depending on how many fajitas you want to make), spices, sliced bell peppers and onions, lime wedges, and flour tortillas.

Cut the chicken breasts into 1/2 thin strips. Put in a small bowl, add the spices and juice of 1/2 a lime. Combine and then pour into a pan with with about 1 tablespoon hot oil. Make sure the pan is hot. The more sizzle you hear the more flavor the chicken will have.

Next, Allow the chicken to cook on medium/high heat for 10 minutes (the hotter the better), while tossing every few minutes. Add the sliced peppers and onions and continue cooking for just one minute. Remove from heat and serve with warm tortillas.

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
