4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 stick butter
1 cap full Mrs. Dash (regular or chipotle)
1 large onion
1 green pepper
1/4 brown sugar
lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, tortillas
Slice chicken into long strips, place in pan with half of the butter and Mrs. Dash. Cook until done and lightly browned. Stir in a small amount of water or chicken broth and the brown sugar. Cook until caramelized.
Chop the pepper and onions into strips and rings, sauté in a separate skillet with the remaining butter. Cook until onions are caramelized and peppers have crispy edges.
These fajitas are really easy to make and a little different because they're sweet and spicy.

We make ours at home and actually stir fry the chicken, peppers and onions in our wok, which seems to work really well. You will need:
1-2 lbs. boneless chicken, cut into long strips
peanut oil
1-2 tbsp. McCormick fajita seasoning (available at grocery store)
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin rings
1 medium yellow onion, cut into thin rings
8 large flour tortillas
8oz. container sour cream
fresh chopped tomatoes
salsa and/or hot sauce
Slice chicken into long strips, heat oil in a wok or large skillet, and stir fry or saute till almost done, adding fajita seasoning to taste. Add onion and pepper and continue cooking till vegetables are softened but not mushy. Meanwhile, warm tortillas in microwave wrapped in waxed paper, or in oven on low heat wrapped in foil. Serve chicken mixture rolled up in tortillas and topped with sour cream, tomatoes, salsa and/or hot sauce.
