Casa Mexicana Seasonings Rock

I love Mexican food, it's one of my favorites, especially tacos and fajitas...yum. And now that I've tried Casa Mexicana's delightful Beef Taco and Chicken Fajita seasonings....um wow! I wish they sold this stuff in the stores where I live. I wouldn't buy Old Elpaso or Taco Bell stuff anymore, I'd buy this.

If you have it in a store neat you I highly recommend giving it a try.

To make the Chicken Fajita's (from the Casa Mexicana website)

YOU WILL NEED

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
8-12 flour or corn tortillas
½ onion
2 bell peppers (any color)
¼ cup of water

DIRECTIONS

In a plastic bag add water, 2 tablespoons of oil and packet contents, mix thoroughly.

Slice chicken in strips and add to plastic bag, coat thoroughly and marinate for 5 minutes.

Slice onion and bell peppers, sauté in pan at medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil until soft and golden. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook chicken at medium-high heat until ready. Mix with onion and peppers and serve on warm tortillas.
