chicken fajitas

we always try to eat healthy but of course the holidays threw us off and then we were sick and didn't really eat much of anything and i was hardly cooking. i am trying to get back on track and chicken fajitas sounded so good! this is an easy, healthy recipe.
Chicken Fajitas
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast, cut into strips
1 Tbs. of olive oil or veg. oil
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 C. lime juice
1/4 tsp.chili powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. cumin
salt and pepper
1 red pepper, or green pepper, i use both
1 small onion
(i kind of use whatever seasonings i have but cumin is really important!)
in large skillet, heat oil over high heat, add chicken, garlic and onions. stir fry until chicken is browned. add lime juice, spices, and peppers. i heat it until it is sizzling and all the moisture is gone so they are charred and yummy!
i use corn tortillas but you can use flour too, heat them through and top with your chicken mixture.

(can't get this pic to turn) toppings are all optional
red onion, avocado or guacamole, cheese, sour cream, salsa and cilantro. we try to keep it light with avocado, salsa and a little cheese.
i would double for a large family.
