Chicken fajitas seem to be one of those throw together meals when you've got a few bell peppers laying around (left over from Stuffed Roasted Bell Peppers ) This {homemade} throw together is quick, easy and so yummy!

Chicken Fajitas

1 lb. chicken tenders, cut into bit-sized pieces
1-2 tbsp grapeseed oil
1/4- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp sea salt

3-4 bell peppers, cut into strips (red, orange, yellow, green)

1 yellow onion, sliced

1 clove garlic

pinch red pepper flakes

2 sprigs cilantro or 1 tsp dried cilantro

sea salt to taste

{Homemade} Quinoa Tortillas or corn tortillas

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Toss into large skillet, chicken pieces seasoned with the cayenne, cumin and salt and cook in oil until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove to separate bowl and set aside. Into same skillet add peppers, onion, red pepper flakes, cilantro and salt. When peppers and onions are charred around the edges, but still with a slight crisp add chicken back into the mix and toss to combine. Spoon fajita stuffing into the tortillas and top with a sprinkle of cheese.

Enjoy!
