Chicken Fajitas with Roasted Red Peppers

Servings = 4 | Serving size = one fajita

This recipe can easily be multiplied by 2 or 3. The filling will keep well for about 48 hours in the fridge. Reheat gently

1 medium (6 ounce)	white onion (peeled and sliced thin)
2 quarts	water
	ice
1	red bell pepper
	spray olive oil
4 ounces	boneless chicken breast (slice into thin strips)
1/4 tsp.	salt
1/4 tsp.	ground cumin
1/4 cup	water
4	low-fat soft flour tortillas
2 tsp. (per serving)	non-fat sour cream
1 Tbsp. (per serving)	fresh cilantro leaves

Place the sliced onion in a large mixing bowl and cover with the water and ice.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the red pepper in the oven and roast for about 40 minutes. Turn the pepper a quarter turn about every ten minutes so that it roasts evenly. Remove the roasted pepper from the oven and place in a paper bag. Allow the pepper to cool.

Once cool, the skin of the pepper will slip off easily. Remove the seeds and slice the pepper very thin.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot drain the onions and add them to the pan. Stir frequently. As the excess water begins to evaporate spray lightly with the olive oil.

Continue to cook until the onions are completely brown. If they cook too fast reduce the heat to keep them from burning.

When the onions are browned and limp add the sliced roasted red bell pepper. Stir and increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, salt and cumin. Cook until the outside of the chicken strips are slightly browned.

Place a second skillet on another burner over high heat.

Add the water and cook, stirring frequently. The water will evaporate quickly and when there is only about a tablespoon turn remove the pan from the burner.

Place a tortilla in the second heated pan for about 5 – 10 seconds turning once so that the tortilla is soft. Remove and fill with 1/4 of the fajita mixture, top with 2 teaspoons non-fat sour cream and 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves.

Repeat for the other three fajitas. Note: The information below doesn’t include the tortilla. Look for the low-fat or non-fat flour tortillas by checking the nutrition information carefully on the package.
