Chicken Fajita Recipe

What can I say I LOVE Mexican food.  My family and I eat a lot of Mexican food especially Chicken Fajitas.  They are so easy to make and they are perfect with my Refried beans and Yellow rice.  This recipe is made with such an easy fajita spice mix it takes no time to make any day of the week.  I love the fact that you can season this the night before or make the day of.  Especially when you add caramelized onions, bright colored peppers and fabulous add-ins.  Just warm up your tortillas in the microwave or oven, add shredded cheddar cheese lots of lettuce and tomatoes and spicy salsa and pico de gallo… YUMMY!!!!!
