Chicken Fajitas

(This is what they look like frozen, but getting ready to defrost in the pan.)

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.  Since it's cooked, you could use bottled lime juice with similar results.  


Ingredients:

1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

4-5 lbs raw chicken breasts
2-3 green peppers
2-3 onions
Tortillas
Fajita condiments:  cheese, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, etc.

Directions:  
Mix together all ingredients except chicken and vegetables.  Put marinade with chicken pieces in a large ziploc bag, and put in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.  Cook chicken breasts thoroughly in a skillet.  (If you want, you can cut the chicken into strips before cooking and it will go faster!)

Cut chicken into strips, and when cool, put in a gallon sized ziploc bag.  In a separate, smaller bag, put a mix of raw green peppers and onions, then put that bag in the chicken bag.  Close the whole thing up and freeze.  

To cook:  Put the contents of both bags in a skillet and heat on medium. By the time the chicken is heated, the peppers and onions will be done.  Serve on tortillas with any other condiments you want!
