Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees (or use the microwave to warm the tortillas).
- Make fajita seasoning: Mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in large skillet or frying pan. Add peppers and onion. Stir in remaining fajita seasoning. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan to serving dish or plate; keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pan, over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with 3/4 of fajita seasoning. Mix together and cook for 6 to 10 minutes, or until browned.
