I don't know if it's the American cheese or the seasoning, but there's just something about this recipe that makes what I think are the perfect fajitas. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon cumin (or i) |
2 large skinless chicken breasts |
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1/2 cup diced white onion |
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning mix (see above) |
2 tablespoons water |
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon lime juice, from concentrate |
2 slices real american cheese |
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas |
cooking oil |
Directions:
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 medium-high 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 fajita seasoning (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.
10. Serve with picante sauce , pico de gallo, or other desired topping.
