At the time Larry (my brother) and I were helping Dad get his house in Atlanta fixed up so he could sell it, Jason (my nephew) was dating a nice young lady named Kay. Sweet girl, but not much of a cook. Anyway, she made this pre-mixed frozen concoction that were suppose to be chicken fajitas... just wrap and serve. I figured I could do a better job, and here it is.
These are somewhat of a pain to cook because of all the prep, but they're mighty tasty.

Ingredients Three boneless, skinless chicken breasts One large Vidalia onion One medium green bell pepper Four or five Jalapeņo peppers One Tbs. of minced garlic Four Tbs. butter Fajita wraps Spices: Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper Trimmings: Sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese (shredded), taco sauce |

Preparation:
1. Peel and chop the onions to a size suitable to your liking.
2. Seed and chop the bell pepper about the same size as the onion.
3. Seed and mince the Jalapeņo peppers.
4. Shave the chicken into very fine strips (this will take a few minutes).
Instructions:
Heat up two frying pans, each with a couple of Tbs. of butter.
In one of them, add the chicken and minced garlic, with a little salt & pepper.
In the other, add the onion, jalapeņo pepper, and bell pepper.
Add in some crushed red pepper to the second pan based on your liking for heat.
When the chicken is done, stir in everything from the other frying pan, reduce the
temp, and let it all meld together for a few minutes.
Now, grab a flat skillet. While it's getting hot, ask around for what "fixin's" everyone wants. Add a little of the Fajita stuff along with the cheese, taco sauce, and sour cream to a fajita wrap, wrap it up, and brown it slightly on the skillet.
If you want to add a little color to the mix, add some chopped red and/or yellow bell pepper.
