 Autumn’s Fajitas- All time Favorite
Seasoning Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
 2 teaspoons chili powder
 1 teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon paprika
 1 teaspoon white sugar
 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Fajita Ingredients:
1-2 lbs chicken breast cut into cubes
Seasoning (included above)
Mexican Cheese
2 TBSP Olive Oil
¼- ½ C water
Tortillas (See recipe for Homemade Tortillas to die for!)

Instructions:
Wisk all ingredients for seasoning together in a small bowl and set aside.
Cook chicken in olive oil until browned on med heat. Add some water if chicken is burning but not cooked through (water will evaporate). Once chicken is cooked add water and seasoning mixture. Boil until thickened. Set pan aside. Build your fajitas with chicken and cheese and microwave for 30 sec to melt cheese.

Autumn’s Tips: To make quesadillas, fry tortillas in oil until crispy. Add chicken and cheese and top with another tortilla. Heat until cheese is melted. YUM!!!

If you add to little water to chicken and seasoning add more, if you added too much cook until thickened (water will evaporate).

You can add sautéed onions and peppers for extra bonus. ( I don’t like it though LOL, Matt does).
