This is my version - it might be a tad diferent from Becky's original.

Fast and Easy Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:
3 or 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1-2 Bell Peppers (preferably red, yellow or orange)
1 large Onion
1 small lime or ½ lime
Pantry Southwestern or Chipotle Seasoning Mix
6-inch Flour Tortillas

Toppings:
Guacamole
Salsa
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese

Directions:
Fill the Mini Baker with the 6-inch tortillas, cover with foil, and put in a 250 degree oven to warm. Or put the Mini Baker in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel for @ 30-45 seconds to warm.

Slice the bell peppers with the Ultimate Mandoline or the Forged Cutlery Knives. Slice the onion with Apple Wedger. Put onions and bell peppers in the bottom of the Deep Covered Baker, sprinkle with @ 1 Tablespoon of Pampered Chef Southwestern Seasoning Mix. Add the raw chicken on top of the peppers and onions (leave a little space between the chicken breasts), squeeze lime over the chicken using the Citrus Press and then sprinkle with another Tablespoon of SW Seasoning (I also add a little bit of salt at this point). Cover with the lid and microwave for 15 minutes.

When the chicken is done (cut into a piece or check with the Pocket Thermometer to make sure it is done), cut it up in the baker using the Salad Choppers. Set the Deep Covered Baker, and the Mini Baker, on the Woven Round Tray or on top of the Round Up From the Heart Trivets. Use the Small Bamboo Tongs for serving.



Quick and Easy Salsa

1 ½ cups chunked tomatoes
1 small peeled onion
1 whole jalapeno pepper (stemmed and seeded)
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Coarsely chop using salad choppers

Add:
½ tsp salt
Squeeze lime with citrus press, stir.

About the only thing I do differently is to slice the chicken into strips before cooking it. Makes it cook faster, and faster to chop at the end too!
