Ingredients:

• 1 t. minced garlic
• 1 t. minced onion (dry)
• 3/4 t. cumin

2. Cook and stir chicken in large heated skillet on medium-high heat 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet. Add bell pepper, onion and reserved marinade; cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.

Comments:

These were amazing fajitas!  Much different flavor than the usual ones we make with fajita seasoning packets; very citrusy with the lime and orange juices, and the spice combination was great!  Like the rosemary chicken recipe I posted a couple months ago, I found this recipe on the back of one of those McCormick pre-measured packets of spices. . .just wanted to make sure to document it so we can make these again without having to buy the packet!
