Fajitas
  1. Add 2 Tbs olive oil to a cast iron skillet and place on medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the chicken to the skillet and sear each side until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into fajita strips.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, add 2 Tbs olive oil, peppers and onions. Cook under medium-high heat until onions are caramelized. Near the end of cooking, add fresh cilantro and cumin to taste. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
