2 cup cooked chicken breast, chopped (about 3 breasts)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp minced garlic ( we use jarred)
1 cup pre-shredded mexican blend cheese
fajita seasoning (1 tb per lb of meat)
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground cayenne or pepper flakes, to your taste
1/2 tsp kosher salt

juice from half a lime (optional)
1/2 cup salsa (hot, medium or mild , depending on preference)

Directions:

Cook 3/4 cup brown rice in steamer. While rice is steaming, cook chicken breasts, approx. 7 minutes each side, seasoning with onion salt, coarse black pepper and optional garlic salt. [NOTE: If you want to serve mixture in 6-inch corn tortillas, during the last 5 minutes of rice steaming, place corn tortillas in top of rice steamer to keep warm.]
Preheat oven to 375°.
Saute onions and green bell pepper until tender; add minced garlic and cook for a minute or two.
In a large bowl, mix together the onion/green pepper mixture, rice, chopped chicken and remaining ingredients (through salsa) until well combined.
Coat a 2-qt casserole dish with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture into the dish.
Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes until casserole is heated through and cheese has melted.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Place a 6-inch tortilla in salad bowl, top with about 3/4 cup to 1 cup chicken mixture. Serve with sour cream or other toppings of choice such as salsa or pico de gallo, black olives, pickled jalapenos, guacamole, lettuce, chopped fresh tomatoes, etc.
