Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the fajita seasoning, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

7. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave according to package instructions.
8. To serve, spoon the chicken and bell pepper mixture onto the tortillas. Top with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
