Chicken Fajitas


Special Fajita seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bullion cube
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
(or 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 concentrate
  • 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 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 McDonald's fajita seasoning. (do this for all four of them)
  8. Fold like a burrito with one end open and wrap in a 12”x12” 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.
