Okay, living in a remote area or small town limits the options and variety of cuisine available. However, there are 2 grocery stores that offer a variety of ingredients. With a little creativity, one can enjoy some interesting and flavorful food. It’s on the inexpensive side, too, especially when one shops the manager specials, deals, and uses coupons/club cards.

I crave spices, savory, and variety. It’s a palate adventure. Traveling to other towns is costly, especially to just dine out. Cheyenne is over an hour away, and I don’t want to spend a fortune in gas. So, I get creative and make my own rendition at home!

Ingredients:

A splash of oil for the skillet

4 Chicken tenders (or 2 chicken breasts, skinless/boneless)

1 bag of frozen fajita mix vegetables (store brand is just fine!)

6 tortillas (warmed in the oven)

Fajita seasoning mix (the shaker kind)

Splash of lemon or lime juice

Sour Cream (optional)

Fully cook the chicken in the oil in a skillet, lightly salt and pepper. Cook fully and shred chicken, returning to skillet on low/med heat.

Add the bag of frozen fajita veggies and shake over the spices as little or liberally as desire with the lemon/lime juice. Simmer until veggies are hot but not mushy or overly cooked.

Dole out mix evenly onto the 6 warm tortillas, dollop with sour cream if desired or top with hot sauce/salsa.
Serve’s 3-4 people.
