Chicken Fajitas, BBQ Chicken Pizza

This is a recipe that is easy, fresh, and delicious. You could also substitute the chicken for shrimp or steak. The leftovers can be morphed into bbq chicken pizza later in the week.

1-2 lbs chicken cut into strips
2-4 bell peppers, a variety of colors, cut into strips
1 med-large onion, cut into strips
taco seasoning
T oil
lime juice
salt
pepper
toppings
tortillas

In a large bowl, combine ingredients. Add any spices that you think would be tasty. Let sit for at least 10 minutes but up to 1 hour.
Heat large grill pan or skillet over medium high heat. Add fajita stuff and cook, stirring occasionally. When chicken is cooked through and vegis are tender, you're done. (if you're using a grill pan, you should get nice char marks!)

Serve with guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream, beans, rice, fresh lime juice, etc. Roll up into a warmed tortilla and enjoy!
