The Verdict!!

I previously posted a recipe that sounded great, but I had never tried - until tonight! I made up my marinade for the chicken fajitas this morning and it smelled so great! I tossed in my chicken and let it marinate for around 6 hours. (She recommended overnight, but I forgot to do it yesterday and the 6 hours gave it TONS of flavor!) I cooked a green and red pepper and thinly sliced onion and then removed those from the pan, added a little more olive oil and then cooked the chicken. The whole family loved them! So flavorful and so easy to do. I sliced my chicken very thin so that it cooked quickly. If your family likes the peppers and onions, then you could just toss the chicken in once those were soft and cook the chicken with them, but since my girls aren't big fans of peppers, I took them out and just added them to our fajitas. I topped them with cheese, sour cream and guacamole. Somehow I forgot lettuce at the store - but even without the lettuce, they were yummy!

Mike said he would take these over regular tacos any day. And they were just as simple to make. So, that's my review! Give them a try and see what you think!

Oh and here's how I make homemade guacamole. Learned this method from Sarah, which you can find here or here and it's super simple and so good!

2-4 Ripe Avocados (They should be fairly soft when you squeeze them)
Picante Sauce (I use one spoonful per avocado)
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt to taste
A little bit of lemon or lime juice - just a dash!

Slice Avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the center of each and transfer to a bowl. Pour in picante sauce and seasonings and mash until soft with a fork. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Tip!! Keep the pits from the avocados and place them back in your dip, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to keep it from turning brown!! This should work for several hours! :) Enjoy!!
