WELCOME TO MIX IT UP MONDAY WITH MAD DASH MIXES
WEEK 41
WHAT ARE WE MIXIN’ UP THIS WEEK?
This week, I am showcasing one of Mad Dash Mixes seasonings and using it to make Chicken Mushroom Fajitas! The company offers 4 different meat seasonings: Caribbean Jerk, Texas BBQ, Fajita Rub and Steakhouse Seasoning. Mad Dash Mixes Fajita seasoning brings just the right amount of spicy flavor to your homemade fajita filling.
Let’s Get to Mixin’
The first step is to make a fajita spice mixture. The mixture is so easy to make! Simply combine olive oil, lime juice, 1 1/2 to 2 Tablespoons of the Fajita Seasoning, and minced garlic. Blend well and set aside.
Now you are ready to slice the vegetables. I actually purchased already sliced fresh mushrooms so all I needed to do was rinse them and let them drain.
Next, slice one bell pepper. You can use any color of pepper. I chose yellow.
Slice a medium size onion. I used a red onion to add more color to the finished dish.
Once all your vegetables are sliced, slice 1 pound of boneless chicken breast into strips.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken breast strips. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in the onions, peppers & mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, stir in the Fajita spice mixture and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so until everything is heated through and the fajita seasoning is well mixed in.
Remove the Chicken Mushroom Fajita filing from the heat.
Prepare an assortment of toppings to serve with the fajitas. We like to add guacamole, shredded cheese and sour cream.
Other toppings that you could use include salsa, lettuce and assorted herbs such as cilantro.
After assembling your fajita and adding your toppings, you are ready to enjoy!

Notes
Cooking With Kim
My entrepreneurial journey started with my love of herbs, both growing and cooking with them. My love of herbs eventually led to owning a pizzeria. After relocating to Florida, I decided to start a blog.
Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered the using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix and then stirring, cooking or chilling and serving! Mixes are such a time saver! After meeting the folks from Mad Dash Mixes* at a blogging conference last summer, I decided to add a weekly blog post featuring recipes using their mixes. I am now having a lot of fun working with the ladies from Mad Dash Mixes.
They did send me some products to sample but my opinions about the products are my own. My full disclosure policy can be found on the Disclosure page.
