Weeknight cooking can be a tricky thing for some people. Obviously breaking out a recipe like Mighty Mans Meal or my step-by-step Lasagna isn't something that can be done on a whim on any ol' Tuesday night. This is where my easy peasy fajitas really shine. They take no time at all to make - they are delish - and for this simple weeknight treat, I even take a few shortcuts (i.e. a pre-made marinade will suffice for this one - no need to spend an hour with 32 different spices to make your own).
You will need: (makes about 7 fajitas)
3 bell peppers (i like to use one yellow, red and green) - chopped into strips
2 red onions (sliced into long strands)
3 tbsp low sodium teriyaki sauce (use a lighter rather than a thicker brand)
1-2 tbsp Kraft Chicken & Rib sauce (very gourmet)
whole wheat flour tortillas
EVOO
Salt and Pepper
Garnish Options:
Sour Cream
Salsa
Avocado
Corn
In a mixing bowl, mix together your chicken strips with some salt, pepper and your chicken & rib sauce (try and let this mixture sit for about 30 minutes in the fridge). In a large pan, add your onions and peppers to some EVOO heated on medium high. Add your teryaki sauce and cook your vegetables until soft. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, heat a drop of EVOO and add in your marinated chicken. Cook through, stirring only a couple times.
Hey... guess what? You're basically done. Set up a little garnish station on your table, plate your chicken in a plate... your veggie mix in another plate...heat up your stack of tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds and voila!
Super simple fajitas are only minutes away people. Don't you wanna be like hubs? Doesn't he look like he's enjoying that lil fajit? I think yes.
