Here's the first make-ahead meal that I ever tried. I only recently realized that it would TOTALLY work for my new Paleo lifestyle. I just had to swap out the bad oil for olive oil and skip the flour tortillas. I'm working on a new tortilla recipe that would go well with these but until then, I enjoy this on a bed of romaine with salsa on the side :)
Ingredients (Makes 3 kits that would easily feed 3-4)
Chicken fajita season mix
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder (I used the organic kind I found at Sprouts)
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
12 boneless chicken breasts
2 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
3 yellow onions ( or your favorite onion)
Directions
In a med. bowl mix the seasoning ingredients together. Set aside for later.
Cut peppers and onions in thin strips.
Divide into 3 portions and place each portion in a quart size freezer bag making sure to squeeze excess air out of bag.
Cut chicken into 1/4" strips the sprinkle with seasoning.
Divide into 3 portions. Place each portion in a quart freezer bag.
Place one bag of seasoned chicken, and one bag of veggies in a gallon bag. Squeeze excess air out. Label and freeze.
To prepare fajitas: Thaw in fridge overnight. When ready, add oil to pan then sautee chicken until cooked through. Add veggies (they should be wilted from thawing) and continue cooking until heated through.
Voila!
