Ingredients
Chicken1, 1/2 bag fully cooked fajita style
Pepper/Onion mix, 1 bag frozen
Rice, 2 1/2 cups cooked
Tortillas2
Cheese, cheddar shredded (optional)
Garlic Powder
Cilantro

Directions

  1. Cook rice.
  2. While rice is cooking, place bag of frozen pepper/onion mix into heated skillet.
  3. Season peppers/onions with garlic powder and cilantro as desired.
  4. Pour 1/2 bag of pre-prepared fajita chicken onto cutting board. Cut chicken into thinner strips.
  5. Once moisture is gone from skillet add chicken. Cook until peppers/onions are slightly blackened. Remove from heat.
  6. Place rice and peppers/onions on tortilla. Add cheese if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
  1. The chicken may be omitted or replaced with tofu for a vegan option.
  2. Corn tortillas may be used for a gluten-free meal.
  3. I usually pick out half the onions from the mix because I like a higher ratio of peppers than provided. I refreeze the onions for a later dish.
  4. I always cook more rice than I need to save for future rice dishes.
