Chicken and Bacon Fajitas image

This is a colorful and flavorful fajita filling served in hot, fresh flour tortillas. Absolutely delicious! And for those who are watching their carbs, it is just as good eaten with a fork without the tortillas!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
salt to taste
3 slices peppered bacon, diced
½ cup chopped onion
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 ½ cups chopped mushrooms
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
¾ cup chopped cilantro
8 large flour tortillas (burrito size), warmed to soften

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until the outside is golden brown, and the juices run clear. Salt the breasts to taste, then set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in the hot skillet until it begins to release some oil. Stir in the onion, and bell peppers; cook until the bacon is crispy and the onions are transluscent. Stir in the tomatoes and mushrooms, and continue cooking until the mushrooms have softened.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then add to the skillet along with the cilantro. Stir to combine, and cook for a minute to reheat. Spoon into warmed tortillas to serve.
