Heat one tortilla on both sides for 1 minute each.  Sprinkle on cheese, about 1/2 cup.  Lay down 5 to 6 strips of chicken, breaking them into bite size pieces.  Fold tortilla in half and heat until cheese has melted and tortillas is golden brown.  Cut into fourths and serve with a side of black beans.

Now, let's feed the grown ups.

Warm the tortillas on the griddle, long enough to make them soften up, 2 minutes.
Down the center of the tortilla, spread on a tablespoon worth of sour cream, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 3 slices of chicken, sauted onions, jalepenos (as much as you can bare to eat), 2 tablespoons of salsa, and top with lettuce.  Roll up it, folding in the ends, then slice in half.  Serve with a side of black beans.

Mmm, mmm, good!

      Coming from YOU, that’s a BIG compliment. (((THANK YOU)))

      Chicken and beans are regular food staples at my house and we never tire of eating Tex-Mex meals.

      You should prepare these chicken fajitas for dinner tonight and save some for lunch the next day.

      Just don’t heat the tortilla. Roll up the fajita with chicken, onions and cheese, then wrap it tightly in cling wrap. Put your condiments (salsa, sour cream) in a zip lock snack size bag. Put lettuce and jalapeños in another zip lock snack size bag. Store in your work cooler.

      At lunch time, heat up fajita at 80% power up to 2 minutes. Remove from cling wrap and move to a plate. Open the fajita, take out your condiment bag. Cut a small corner off the bottom; pipe your condiments onto the fajita. Take out your lettuce bag and empty it’s content on top of the fajita; rewrap tortilla and CHOW DOWN!
