Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas

September 27, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I was going to wait to share this recipe with you, but it is way to good not to share now!!  Dailybuzz was asking for tastemakers to try McCormick’s Recipe Inspirations, and one of the recipes was for Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas.  One thing I love is chicken fajitas!  I could so eat them everyday!  I’m not kidding about that!  Just ask my Husband!!  The combination of peppers and onions with seasoned chicken is pure foodie heaven to my palate!  As soon as I saw what the recipe was, I just had to try it!!!  Let me tell you, I am so glad I did!!

These Fajitas tasted like it they were from a restaurant!  The flavor of garlic and lime were not over whelming at all, but you could definitely taste them.  The added spices were a perfect combination.  This is one little packet I will be buying again!


This dish is very easy to make!!  All you do is marinate your chicken for 30 minutes or longer, cook the chicken with the marinade.  Cook up your onions and peppers, mix the chicken and vegetable combination together and dinner is served!!  Besides marinating the chicken, the whole meal took about 12 minutes to make!! Talk about a fast week night dinner!!!

To be honest, my Husband is not a chicken fajita fan, not because of the onions and peppers, but because it’s chicken.  He believes that tacos should just be ground beef.  I disagree with him, big time!!  But he had this for dinner tonight and he loved it!!  He ate 3 fat tacos!! You know my normal question to him, “would you eat this again?”  He said definitely!!  Yah!!

I gave one of my sample packets to my friend at work, and she had her fajitas for dinner last night.  She said she didn’t have the juice, so she used canned tomatoes and she said it tasted fantastic!!!  I think that was a great idea and a great substitution.  She was going to bring me a sample, but her Husband said no, that he wanted the leftovers for his dinner!!!   I think another great idea would be to use this seasoning with shrimp!!  Oh my gosh that would taste wonderful.  I can only imagine marinating the shrimp in the seasoning and then grilling it, and brushing the remaining marinade on it!!  Oh, man, I guess I know what I’m going to do next!!  Note to self, buy shrimp.

You have to try this seasoning!  I am really impressed with it!  I would never of thought to use a seasoning packet for my fajitas, but it was perfect!  Everything you needed is in there, and the best part is, the spices are fresh, you can smell them when you open up the individual little pockets.

I thought it would be fun to show you my messy fajitas! I see a lot of people blog such gorgeous meals and treats, that look so delectable you just want to reach through your computer screen and grab it, but you never really see what they look like when their at the table eating.  I’m human and I’m not afraid to show my true self!!  I doctored up my fajitas with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce and greek yogurt!!  I love it messy!!!

Yum!!!  Since it was just my Husband and I for dinner, I have leftovers!  I’m going to make a chicken fajita salad for lunch tomorrow!! I can not wait!!!  Sorry for all the enthusiasm,  I get so excited when I try new things and I love them!!!  You know me and food!

Time for kitchen clean-up!  Have a wonderful day!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    We are serious fajita lovers at my house too. I never thought to use the leftovers on a salad though. I love it!

    YUM! My husband and I could eat fajitas pretty much daily too – and whenever I’m at a restaurant and someone near me has ordered them I’m jealous and wish I had some too!! These look great!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
