Chicken Fajitas

This is what we had for dinner tonight- I bought a six pack of peppers from Costco so we needed to up our bell pepper consumption.

2-3 chicken breasts, sliced thin
1 onion, cut into bite sized pieces
2 limes (You will get the most juice if they are room temperature.)
2-3 bell peppers, any color, cut into bite sized pieces

Heat skillet with a little oil in it over medium high heat. Add chicken to pan when hot. Here's a tip on saute-ing: If you like nicely browned meat then: A) don't crowd the pan. B) don't use a non-stick pan. C) don't stir it a whole bunch. Let the chicken cook a few minutes, then squeeze the juice of one lime over the meat. Add the onions. Cook 2 or 3 more minutes, then add the bell peppers and juice of second lime. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring periodically until peppers are crisp-tender. Serve in tortillas with sour cream and salsa. I also occasionally add tomatoes or beans.
