Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Fajita Seasoning

02/06/15 | Dinner, Recipes

My family loves eating Fajitas and I feel good as a mom knowing that I’ve served my family a healthy homemade meal. I have tried store bought fajita seasonings and none of them I’ve liked. So I’ve come up with my own which turned out amazing.

Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Fajita Seasoning

One of my favorite tips when working with chicken is that if you need to slice it, stick it in the freezer for about an hour before hand. When the chicken is slightly frozen, it makes it easier to cut. I always work with frozen chicken, so I just make sure it doesn’t thaw all the way before cutting it.

Chicken Fajitas: Serves about 6

  • 3-4 chicken breasts sliced thin and long
  • 1 each red and green bell peppers sliced thin and long
  • 1/2 yellow onion cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 6- 8″ flour tortillas (I love to use the uncooked tortillas and cooking them fresh at home)
  • Toppings for serving (optional): Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, Salsa, Guacamole etc.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning:

  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tiny pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Mix all seasonings ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice and 1/2 of the homemade Fajita seasoning; add the chicken. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-4 hours. In a large skillet, saute peppers and onions in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm. Discard marinade. In the same skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Return pepper mixture to pan; heat through. Spoon filling down the center of warmed tortillas; fold in half. Serve with cheese, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
