The Very Best Chicken Fajitas Ever

I made these last night and they were very good. I went hunting for a new fajitas recipe and I found a keeper. Plus, I had everything on hand, you've got to love that on a Sunday afternoon.

THE VERY BEST CHICKEN FAJITAS EVER

MARINADE:
1 clove mince garlic
1 1/2 tsp. season salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. lime juice (fresh is best)
1 1/2 lbs. sliced chicken
Combine all ingredients. Marinate chicken strips for at least 2 hours.

FAJITA:
3-4 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 c. sliced onion
1/2 c. chopped green onion
1 c. sliced red bell pepper
8 warmed lg. flour tortillas
1 sliced avocado
Salsa
Sour cream
Shredded Cheddar cheese

Quickly saute onions and peppers in oil until lightly browned; remove from pan. Saute meat until well coated with glaze, about 10 minutes. Toss in the vegetables and reheat. Spoon into flour tortillas with avocado, salsa, sour cream and cheese. Can add other condiments if you want. Serves 4-6
