Full of fresh flavour and lower in fat, these easy fajitas make family dining- in so much fun and at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Set out bowls of extra shredded Canadian Cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped romaine lettuce, and sour cream or thick yogurt; then bring the warmed tortillas and chicken and veggie mixture to the table and allow everyone to personalize their fajitas ‘ watch them disappear.

Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
In a medium microwave-safe bowl melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter in the microwave. Add chicken, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and garlic; mix well and set aside.
Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven 8 minutes or until heated through.
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and melt remaining butter. Add mushrooms, onion and peppers; cook stirring frequently for 6 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Transfer to bowl. Add chicken strips to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned and no longer pink inside. Return vegetables to skillet; stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture over centre of each tortilla and sprinkle with Canadian Cheddar cheese. Serve with suggested toppings.
