FAJITAS

The missionaries are my guinea pigs...and I don't think they mind.
They requested Fajitas last night so I decided to try a new recipe.
(i have always just used the fajita seasoning packet--we liked these MUCH better)
I probably doubled the chicken, and I marinated it over night.
And I used lime juice instead of lemon.
Topped them with guac, sour cream, cheese, and salsa.
Truly
