Quick Chicken Fajitas

By
This is another version of fajitas I love to make.  This is quick and simple but still delicious.  These fajitas can be tweaked to any spice level you like, I like mine spicy so I added chili de arbol and red pepper flakes, but those can be omitted for less heat.  In total this took 10 minutes to prep and maybe another 10 minutes of actual cooking time. Lately I have been cooking my peppers and onions is a separate pan to keep them crunchier but there is nothing wrong with browning the chicken than add in the peppers and onions if you prefer them to be more cooked.
 
This recipe makes 6 – 8 medium size tacos.
