FAJITAS!

So for this week I decided to make some chicken fajitas.  All of my roommates are loving this blog and they hope that I will keep it going indefinitely because they like all of the free food I make them!  So shout out to apartments 4 and 6!  OK, so back to the fajitas.  They are pretty easy to make and they make a pretty large quantity.  They are good to make if you are going to be cooking for a few people, or, if you are like me, you want some leftovers.  These fajitas taste really good reheated which is awesome.  Some foods don't reheat well (macaroni and cheese anyone?)  Here are the ingredients:
1 lb. chicken breast (cut into thin strips)
2 Tbl. Lemon juice
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. pepper
Combine these first five ingredients and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3 medium to large peppers (any assortment green, red, yellow) cut into thin strips
½ small onion (cut into rings)
½ cup sour cream
2 Tbl. Vegetable oil
6 inch flour tortilla shells
Optional—shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese, salsa
Saute marinated chicken in oil over medium heat until almost done (approximately 5 minutes).  Then add peppers strips and onions and sauté till veggies are crisp tender. I am not a very big onion fan, so I like to use vidalia onions because they are fairly mild and don't make you cry when you cut them!  I also like to use all different color peppers!  It makes the fajitas look so colorful and is super delicious.  Add sour cream, stir and cook until heated.  I like to stick the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds so that they are soft and warm.  Then, spoon chicken, peppers, onions mixture onto the tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and salsa if you want to (why wouldn't you want to!)  Roll up and serve.  Enjoy!
