INSTRUCTIONS

AVOCADO-LIME SOUR CREAM INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Stir together avocado, sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper; refrigerate until serving

FAJITA INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Heat oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook chicken with salt and pepper, turning occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to brown.
  • Add peppers, onion, garlic and cajun seasoning; cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Serve tortillas with chicken and pepper filling, avocado-lime sour cream, cilantro and lime wedges.

Chef’s Tip:
A large cast-iron skillet is the perfect pan for cooking fajitas because it holds heat well. To serve with flair, bring cast-iron skillet to table while still sizzling and squeeze fresh lime juice over top. Substitute Tex Mex seasoning for Cajun seasoning if desired.
