Preparation
1
Prep

  • Wash and dry 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 Blend (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

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add chicken and remaining Southwest Spice Blend; cook, stirring frequently, 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!
