Chicken Fajitas

I love fajitas...just ask anyone that knows me, it's no secret. Deciding to attempt fajitas at home seemed quite reasonable with the new quest to lose weight and save a little coin by not eating out a bazillion times a week. I was pleasantly surprised by my homemade version and will definitely keep this in the rotation, diet or no diet =)

Chicken Fajitas

(Serves 8)

Estimated Point Value: 3 pts (without tortilla)

1 tsp minced garlic (2 cloves)

1 tsp dried minced onion

3/4 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried cilantro

1/2 tsp black peppers

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 c fresh citrus juice (I used a lemon, lime, orange combo)

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cut into strips

1 large bell pepper, cut into strips

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1. Mix together all the dried spices, citrus juices, and olive oil together. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a small bowl for later and pour the rest into a Ziplock bag.
2. Add chicken strips into the Ziplock bag marinade and refrigerate (I kept mine in the fridge for a few hours).
3. Add the chicken to a large skillet and cook until browned (discard marinade) and remove from the pan.
4. Saute the pepper and onion with the reserved marinate for about 5 minutes.
5. Add chicken back into the pan and cook until heated through.
6. Serve with tortillas (I was able to find some large ones for 2 pts a piece), or on top of a large salad.
