Chicken Fajitas (Skillet)

skilletchickenfajitasI tend to keep it simple when it comes to fajitas. In my opinion all you need for great flavour is onion, garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper, but this is one of those anything goes kind of recipes so feel free to experiment and have fun creating in the kitchen!

olive or coconut oil
1-1ΒΌ lbs chicken breast, cut into strips
1 sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
2-3 bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 tsp. jarred minced garlic
1 tsp. cumin
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
2 tomatoes, sliced (optional)

To Serve:
flour tortillas
pico de gallo
sour cream
salsa
guacamole
lettuce, shredded
cheese, shredded
lime wedges

Heat an iron skillet or other heavy skillet at medium heat. Once warm, drizzle some oil in the skillet to keep food from sticking.

Cook, stirring occasionally chicken, onion, peppers, garlic, and cumin until chicken is cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste.

Turn the heat up to medium high to caramelize the onions for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently. hen add tomatoes, only cooking long enough to warm.

Serve hot with tortillas and your favorite condiments.
