Chicken and Refried Bean Fajitas

I saw a fajitas recipe on the Closet Cooking blog and got inspired. Brit and I love making any sort of Tex-mex dish and put together an easy recipe for us to try.

Fajitas

Whole wheat tortillas
1 can refried beans
Salsa
Sour cream
Brown rice
Avocado, sliced
Chicken slices (we used pieces of meat from a whole chicken that Brit had recently roasted)
Bell pepper, sliced
Onions, diced
1 tomato, diced
Lemon juice
Jalapeno pepper, minced
Salt
Pepper

Heat up the refried beans with a few scoops of salsa. Also use a few scoops of sour cream, if you don't forget to include it, like I did.

Saute the bell pepper with half of the onion and set aside.

Make a pico de gallo with the remaining onion, tomato, lemon juice, jalapeno pepper, salt and pepper.
Heat up the tortillas in a skillet with some non-stick spray and assemble the fajita.

Put down a layer of refried beans, rice, chicken, pico de gallo, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.
Try your best to eat with grace, but just give in, cut it all up with a knife, mix it together into a tex-mex mush, and enjoy.
