Chicken Pineapple Fajitas

 
from my cousin Emily at GupFood
adapted from Gourmet Momma

  • 8 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 4 1-inch slices peeled fresh pineapple
  • 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 small red or orange sweet peppers, seeded, cut in strips
  • 2 tsp. Jamaican jerk seasoning
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. cooking oil 
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in oven. Meanwhile, coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high. Add pineapple slices; cook 4 to 6 minutes, until browned, turning once. Remove.

2. Cut chicken in strips; toss with sweet peppers; jerk seasoning, and pepper. Heat oil in skillet; add chicken and peppers. Cook and stir over medium-high 4 to 6 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. Core and chop pineapple. Serve with chicken, tortillas, cilantro, and lime.


Note to Self: I didn't have and couldn't find Jerk seasoning so I used a Baja Citrus seasoning packet. It works great. I also add onions. If I use canned pineapple I throw it in at the end just to warm it a tad. I also throw in a little juice for more flavor. The tortillas I leave in the plastic bag and throw in the microwave for about a minute for a whole package. We LOVE these fajitas. They are also extremely easy and come together fast. They also are much healthier when you use Whole Wheat tortillas.

You're going to get about 50 comments from me tonight...since I'm coming out of the closet.:) This was very yummy. I liked how simple it was, yet very tasty. I found some Carribean Jerk at Smiths, and it tasted really good. I also used Costco's fresh pineapple slices...soooo tasty!
