Chicken Fajitas


Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 medium red pepper, julienned
1 medium orange pepper, julienned
1 medium yellow pepper, julienned
1 sweet onion, sliced
6 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed

Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese, cojita cheese, salsa, guacamole and sour cream

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice and seasonings; add the chicken. Turn to coat; cover. Refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
2. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, sautee peppers and onions in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm.
3. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. In the same skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Return pepper mixture to pan; heat through.
4. Spoon filling down the center of tortillas; fold in half. If desired, serve with toppings.

Pro tips: I didn't have to do any of that marinading stuff, so I just threw everything the skillet and it worked out just fine. :)
