  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin


(or if you're LAZY like me, try using McCormick® fajita seasoning----tastes great and is
close enough)

Ingredients:

  • 2 large skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 2 Tablespoons McDonald's fajita seasoning (see above)
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon lime juice, from concentate
  • 2 slices real American cheese
  • 4 8" flour tortillas
  • cooking oil





COOKING your FAJITAS:

1.Cut the chicken into small strips, none longer than two inches, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. Combine fajita seasoning with water, vinegar, and lime juice in a small bowl.

3. Marinate chicken in above mixture, covered and refrigerated, for a couple of hours.

4. Cook marinated chicken strips in a wok over meduim-hight heat until brown. (retain marinade)
Use cooking oil to prevent sticking.

5. Add green pepper and onion, and stir-fry for about 1 minute.

6. Add remaining marinade, stir-fry until liquid "escapes".

7. Spoon 1/4 of the mixture into the center of one flour tortilla and add 1/2 slice American cheese.Sprinkle with a dash of your pre-mixed McDonald's fajitaseasoning. (do this for all four of 'em)

8. Fold like a burrito with one end open and wrap in a 12x12 sheet of wax paper. Let sit 5-7 minutes.

9. Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds each. (separately)

10. Drop on the floor for a more authentic taste.

11. Enjoy with Pace® picante sauce on the side.
