Naked Fajitas


This dish is really good for a big group.  It is basically a tex-mex stir fry, or a fajita without the tortilla.  To make naked fajitas you will need:

1 Package of Mexican Saffron Rice
1/2 Block of Pepper Jack Cheese
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Green Pepper
1 Red Pepper
1 Spanish Onion
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Chili Powder

Boil water for rice (follow directions on package). Slice peppers and onions in strips. Add onions into a skillet with olive oil on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add peppers into skillet with onions and cook on medium to low heat stirring occasionally. Season to your liking with cumin and chili powder.  Cut chicken into small strips and sprinkle with olive oil, cumin, chili powder salt and pepper. Cook chicken in separate skillet on medium heat for about 5 minutes.  

When chicken is finished add to the skillet with the cooking vegetables. Let sizzle on low heat until rice is finished so flavors will seep in and mixture will stay warm. Grate 1/2 block of cheese into a bowl.  

When rice is finished turn skillet with vegetables and chicken to high heat and scoop rice into the skillet. Toss and let rice pick up flavors.  Scoop onto plates, sprinkle pepper jack cheese onto top and serve.
