Freezer Chicken Fajitas Recipe with Homemade Taco Seasoning
SERVES: 6 PREP TIME: 10 min COOK TIME: 20 min CALORIES: 205
Ingredients:
Chicken Fajitas
- 2 lbs Chicken breasts, boneless skinless slices thin
- 1 Green bell pepper, thin
- 1 Red bell pepper, thin
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, thin
- 1/2 Onion (optional)
***In honor of Virginia's Harvest of the Month the recipe includes bell peppers***
Homemade Taco Seasoning (yields 1/2 cup) (tip: two people can share one batch)
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp oregano
- ½ tbsp black pepper
Measure the spices into a bowl and gently whisk them together until they are evenly combined.
Fajita Marinade
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1/4 cup Taco seasoning (see above recipe)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions:
1. Make taco seasoning
2. Make your fajita marinade by mixing the lime juice, oil, and taco seasoning in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, onion, and peppers.
3. Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips.
4. Thinly slice the bell peppers and onions.
5. Toss the sliced chicken breast, peppers, and onions in the marinade.
Note: If you bake the fajitas the same day, leave the chicken mixture to marinate for at least an hour in the fridge.
6. Freezer bag time! To freeze the fajita mix: place the chicken in the bottom of a gallon-sized ziplock bag, followed by the vegetables. Seal the ziplock bag, squeezing out as much air as you can. Flatten out the bag for easier storage. Name and date your meal and place it in the freezer until ready to cook.
When you’re ready to serve the chicken fajitas, you’ll need tortillas, avocado, salsa, & sour cream. In place of tortillas, serve over rice.
