====Chicken Fajitas====
Date added: 2020/09/19

===Ingredients===
  *1 Chicken Breast cut into 1cm² strips
  *1 Medium Onion
  *2 Bell Peppers (I like a red and a green)
  *Preferred Tortillas (We like flour)
  *//optional// 
    *Sour Cream 
    *Cheese

== Marinade==
  *1 tsp Kosher Salt
  *1 tsp Mexican Oregano
  *1 TBS Chili Powder
  *1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  *1 tsp Garlic Powder
  *Juice of 1 lime

===Method===
  -Combine chicken with all spices in a bowl
  -Add fresh lime juice and massage together, let marinate while prepping other ingredients
  -Cut onion into strips (We call them "moons" no idea what the correct french word is) and fry in a dry pan over high heat (cast iron is ideal but not necessary here).  Season with ~1/4tsp salt and do not stir so it will char. Stir after first side has charred; continue until cooked to your preference
  -Remove onions from pan and set aside in a large clean bowl
  -Repeat above step twice with one pepper at a time. It is important not to crowd the pan for charring to occur
  -Reduce heat to medium and let pan cool slightly
  -Fry chicken in batches (it takes us two batches) adding an appropriate quantity of oil each time, removing each batch to the vegetable bowl
  -Add ~1/3cup water to empty pan and scrape to de-glaze on high heat, reduce by ~1/2.
  -Add vegetables and chicken back to pan, stir to coat, heat until everything is reheated
  -Serve immediately

===Notes===
  - Recipe calls for cumin, Gab omitted it last time, try with it next time.
