Chicken Fajitas

For some reason I have been on a spicy kick, and can't get enough of recipes with a little punch to them. So far this past week we have had Quesidillas, Fajitas, and Chili. For right now I will share my fajitas recipe and later this week I'll post the yummy chili I made. When I went to the supermarket to pick up a few items that I needed I noticed that Jospeh's my husband' s favorite brand of Pita bread also made tortillas, made with flax, oat and wheat. I thought we would give them a try and we loved them.  Once again I have no pictures, one camera is lost the other isn't working.... I will have it up and running this weekend and will post with pictures again soon!! Promise...
