Chicken Fajitas

"A fajita is a term found in Tex-Mex cuisine commonly referring to any grilled meat usually served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla." -- Wikipedia.

I used to have fajitas before I became a hardcore "Halal"-ian. It's been a while since I have been craving for fajitas and luckily i found this recipe. I didn't expect it to be half-way close to the restaurant quality. But, surprisingly the flavors were spot-on.
