Chicken Fajitas

"Please, please, please! It's been soooo long." Puppy Daddy has been begging. I don't know why I have denied him for so long. This recipe is super simple, quick and delicious. No need to go to a restaurant for fajitas. I marinated the chicken for these about 2 hours, but I have made them many times by just tossing the chicken in the marinade and then right into the skillet. You can also cook the chicken, onion and green pepper on the grill, but it was too chilly for outdoor cooking last night.

The marinade has just a few simple ingredients, and you can leave some out or change them depending on what you have in your pantry. I really love the flavor the liquid smoke gives the chicken.




Cooking the fajitas is super easy. I start by sauteing the onion and green pepper in a little bit of olive oil. When they start to get soft, add the chicken. While the chicken is cooking wrap your tortillas in some aluminum foil and heat in the oven.

Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy with some rice and beans!
