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
