Fajitas

Rice

Beans

Method

Fajitas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with tortillas.

Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long grain rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Beans

  1. 6

    Prepare the Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the canned black beans over medium heat. Add cumin, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.
