Chicken Skillet Fajitas
I found this one on the net and kind of liked it and decided to give it a shot.. Before this I used the Fajita spice packages and the results were tasty but I liked this on from scratch. Of course, I added and changed some stuff ..but it turned out to be pretty good served with black beans and rice.
