PJ, Here is a recipe for chicken and veggie fajitas that I made up and use quite often. Here goes:

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium to large green bell pepper
1 medium red onion
1 tablespoon of oil (I use canola, but olive is great too)
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Goya Adobo Seasoning (the one with the red lid)
1 packet of sazon seasoning
low fat or fat free shredded cheddar cheese
reduced fat or fat free sour cream (I like Breakstone's)
package of soft flour tortillas (the smaller ones, not burrito sized)

*Note for those that are unfamiliar, Goya Adobo and sazon are usually located in the "ethnic foods" aisle of your grocer or supermarket. You can find it at Superwalmart with ease. The Adobo is in a regular shaker container while the sazon is in an orange box with a picture of vegetables on it.*

Instructions

Cleanse and cut the chicken breasts into small strip pieces. Season the pieces with the Goya Adobo, garlic powder, and not to much black pepper (it will overpower the other seasonings if you use to much). Set aside for a few minutes to let the seasonings set in.

Wash the bell pepper and red onion, then cut them into manageable pieces that are easy to handle. Set aside.

Get a large non-stick skillet or saute pan and sit it over medium to high heat. Add the tablespoon of oil, swirl it around in the skillet/pan to get it evenly coated. When the oil gets hot, add the chicken pieces and let them cook some, stirring to make sure it cooks evenly. When the chicken is almost done, add the bell peppers and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn down the heat for the skillet between medium and low (dont want the veggies to get super soggy) and add half of the sazon seasoning packet, stirring to distribute evenly.

Taste the food to see if you like the flavors(I add the entire packet of sazon, but thats just me) *Note the sazon seasoning is orange, so dont freak out when the chicken turns the same color* If you need more sazon, add more. Turn off the stove because the food is ready!

Take your tortillas (however many fajitas you are planning to eat) and heat them in the microwave for 12-15 seconds to warm them (use whole wheat tortillas if you plan on eating healthier being that they are healthier than the flour ones, I use the flour tortillas). Add the chicken and veggies to your tortillas, and top with the cheese and sour cream. Enjoy!
