Aunt Kim's Chicken Fajitas

boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
sliced peppers (green, red, orange, yellow)
onions, sliced or chunked
Emeril's Southwest Seasoning (see below)
SPG (see below)
Sprinkle chicken liberally with Emeril's Southwest Seasoning (see below), then saute in olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan. Remove from pan and saute peppers and onions, also in olive oil, with some SPG (see below).

Stuff into small flour tortillas and serve with any of the following suggested sides and/or toppings:

rice
corn
sour cream
chopped cilantro
salsa/pico de gallo/tomatillo sauce/salsa verde
grated cheddar or monterey jack
avacado/guacamole
chopped fresh onion/tomato/lettuce
whole black or pinto beans/refried beans
pickled or fresh jalapenos
Really, whatever you like with Mexican food.

Yum!

Emeril's Southwest Seasoning:
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. dried oregano

SPG:
SPG is a homemade seasoning made of equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic salt. I buy the huge sizes from Costco and mix them all together in a large plastic container and keep it on hand at all times. I use it when cooking just about everything!
