Chicken cooked in style Mexican dish fajitaThe distinctive flavor of fajita comes from a special seasoning blend of spices such as onion and garlic powder, ginger, paprika, chili pepper, oregano, and cumin. The chicken is very easy to prepare. You'll only need 4 chicken breasts, a can of canned beans, and a can of diced tomatoes. Combine the fried chicken with the vegetables and cook in the oven or slow cooker. For a more liquid-free dish, you can drain the beans first. Serve the chicken "Mexajita" with corn or wheat tortillas.
