 Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas


The Original Recipe:
This is from a little McCormick packet of seasonings that were individually measured in their own little squares. I hadn't planned on buying this, but my husband saw it and said it sounded good. Plus, tt has the recipe right on the back with the measurements, so you could technically make this with out buying this packet. So, I thought I'd share. They were really good, and bonus! the kids ate them with the red peppers and onions and all! They really liked these! I was so happy! I served them with a side of Taco Rice and they were good to go! These were simple enough that I would make them again, and maybe even grill them next time, too.
