Preparation
1
Prep

• Wash and dry all produce. • Dice tomato. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper.

2
Make Pico & Crema

• In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream with a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

3
Cook Veggies

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper; cook until lightly browned and slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add sliced onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and tender, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in half the Southwest Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step) and a splash of water. Cook, stirring, until veggies are coated and water has mostly evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

4
Cook Chicken

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add chicken and remaining Southwest Spice; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned, 3-5 minutes. • Stir in Tex-Mex paste, lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice until chicken is coated and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat.

5
Warm Tortillas

• Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

6
Serve

• Divide tortillas between plates and fill with chicken and veggies. Top with pico de gallo, Monterey Jack, and lime crema. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side. TIP: Serve chicken, veggies, pico de gallo, Monterey Jack, lime crema, and lime wedges in separate bowls or plates for a build-your-own fajita bar!
