Taco Bell Chicken Fajita Seasoning Mix

A couple years ago Taco Bell and Kraft Foods got together

to produce a line of products – everything from taco kits

to salsas and spice mixes – all stamped with the familiar

Taco Bell logo and available in supermarkets across the country.

The idea was a winner, and now the Taco Bell line of products

is among Kraft’s top sellers. The clone of this mix, made with

a combination of common spices and cornstarch, can be kept

indefinitely until your brain’s fajita-craving neurons begin

firing. When you’re set to cook, you’ll just need some chicken,

a bell pepper, and an onion, and then you simply follow the

same instructions that you find on the package of the real thing.

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Prepare fajitas using the following ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 to 1 1/4 lb.), cut into

thin strips

2 tablespoons oil

1/3 cup water

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips

1 medium onion, sliced

Prepare the fajitas using the same directions found on the package

of the original seasoning mix:

1. COOK and stir chicken in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet 5

minutes on medium-high heat. Add TACO BELL Fajita Seasoning Mix,

water, green pepper, and onion; cook and stir on medium heat 5

minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are

tender.

2. PLACE tortillas on microwavable plate. Cover with plastic wrap.

Microwave on high 1 minute.

3. SPOON chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top as desired with

TACO BELL salsa. Roll up tortillas.

Makes 5 servings.
