"i like this recipe because it requires no grilling and i have gotten great responses from all kinds of people so i know this one's a winner. This recipe is actually lower in fat because you will only use about half the cold avocado mix."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 6 fajitas
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb boneless chicken breast
• 1⁄2 - 1 lb raw shrimp
• 6 ounces sour cream
• 1 avocado
• 1⁄2 tablespoon dry oregano
• 1 big green pepper
• 1 big red pepper
• 1 big onion
• 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning mix
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
• tortilla
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Start by cleaning out the peppers from the inside, must take out the seeds with the core. Take out shrimp shells and tails if necessary. Then you cut the chicken into bite side pieces. Cut the cleaned peppers and onions Julian (thin strips, not to thin though) style After that is done heat up the oil in a big pan to medium heat and pour in the peppers and onions, once in the pan give them a "good cover" of fajita seasoning and mix. After a minutes, drop in the chicken, when it looks like the chicken is almost fully cooked, drop in the shrimp and sprinkle some water into the whole pan and cover for 5 minutes if the pepper mix looks too hard. This helps the produce get softer. Then you mix half (or more is you like) of the avocado with the sour cream. Chop the cilantro and put it in there too along with the dry oregano and some salt and mix. Heat tortillas by sprinkling them with water and heating them up in microwave covered in paper towels. Once tortillas are warm, they will be softer. Put a layer of the cold mix in middle of tortilla and and top it off with the rest of the ingredients from the pan, fold and finally chow down.
