Fast Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
  • 1 Tbsp taco or fajita seasoning mix
  • 1 4-oz can whole mild green chilies, cut into strips
  • 8 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 8-oz container sour cream
  • About 1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • About 1/2 cup chunky Mexican salsa
  • 1 medium tomato, cored and cut into strips
How to Prepare:
Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet; add onion and chicken. Stir-fry until onion softens a little and chicken turns opaque, about 2 minutes. After about 1 minute, stir in taco or fajita seasoning.

Add green chilies, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Heat tortillas until warm and flexible. You can do this over a gas flame, in a dry skillet or in a microwave. (To heat over a gas flame, lay 1 tortilla directly on the burner and turn every 2 seconds with tongs until warm and just beginning to get brown spots. Or heat a skillet on high heat, and heat 1 tortilla at a time, turning until pliable and warm, about 10 to 15 seconds. To microwave, wrap tortillas in a damp cloth towel and microwave on medium power for about 1 minute. Change the position of the tortillas in the stack, moving those inside to the outside, and microwave for 30 seconds.)

Spread each tortilla with a stripe of sour cream across its diameter, then sprinkle with a little cheese; add chicken mixture. Top with salsa and tomato. Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve.
