CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

CHICKEN FAJITAS WITH LIME, GARLIC AND BELL PEPPERS
WW friendly. A family favorite especially when atoning for excesses. This is so tasty, yet so healthy, even when each adult eats two large burritos. I adapted this from a recipe on a plastic produce bag at a Mars Supermarket.

LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
This is one of the best fajita recipes I've ever tasted. The hint of lime gives these a really great fresh taste. Best served on fresh tortillas.
