yummy mexican fajitas

Here is a great recipe that is easy to make, good to take for lunches at work, and good for left overs!
1 large onion
1 green bell pepper
3 cloves of garlic
protein of choice ( pinto beans, black beans, chicken, skirt steak etc)
1&1/2 teaspoons Cumin
1/4 cup lemon juice, orange juice or lime juice (if it is fresh even better throw the fruit in after you squeeze it!)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried cilantro or 1/4 cup fresh chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
butter or oil

saute onion about 3 minutes while you cut up the garlic, then add garlic to saute pan. Cut up green pepper saute with onion and garlic then add the rest of the ingredients. I usually let this simmer for 20 mins but if you have meat you need to cook accordingly. Just make sure your chicken is done! OH p.s. if you want to marinate you chicken before hand use some soy sauce and lemon juice!
you can serve with either fried tortilla or just regular flour tortilla, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese! yumm!
