Lime, vinegar and Italian salad dressing mix offer an alternative to the usual Mexican-spiced chicken, onion and green pepper saute. Serve in the traditional manner, with tortillas and a dollop of sour cream.

Apparently I did something wrong, because this was absolutely not to my liking! It tasted like vinegar and I used even more chicken...

I made this for dinner last night and only 1 out of 4 people liked it. If you like the taste of vinegar you will like this. I will be sticking to my own recipe.

Perfect recipe as-is! I served with whole wheat tortillas and low fat sour cream, with vegetarian refried beans on the side. Wonderful meal that will go into my regular rotation!

These were absolutely delicious, not too vinegary as I thought it might be. With sour cream and homemade salsa, it was just heavenly. Now I just need to find a recipe for what goes in a packet of Italian dressing mix and this would be even cheaper and something I could easily make with what I have in the kitchen!

Awesome! Fresh, tangy, delicious! I cooked it a hot wok. Instead of marinating a yellow onion, I used freshly sliced green onion as garnish. Sour cream seasoned with chopped basil was a lovely dressing, as was the fresh mozzarella I served on the side. There's lots of room for creativity here. Maybe a little feta and kalamata olives in a spinach wrap? mmmmmmmm :-)

I have tried to make Fajitas many times and this is by far the best. My time management was a little off and the marinate only sat for almost an hour. I did forget to marinate the pepper and onion with the chicken but it all turned out well. Everyone in the house enjoyed these fajitas. They were served on a tortilla with only cheddar cheese and green Tabasco. Fresh Strawberry Margarettas (virgins for the kiddos) were a great addition to the tang.

Amazing!!! We love these! I actually used italian dressing instead of the dry. But otherwise I follwed the recipe and they turned out awesome. We have made these several times now.

These were great! My husband would have preferred the chicken to be in strips, but that's easily done!

I love these fajitas not only for their awesome flavour, but also for their ease and convenience. I make this quite often (something I don't usually do with recipes as I love trying new things) but it's just so convenient to prep the ingredients, let them marinate overnight, and cook the next day. I will eat them for dinner for about 3 days in a row (I'm very busy and don't have time to cook every day) and still don't get tired of them! I pretty much double the peppers and onions and add fresh mushrooms. I usually add refried beans and sliced avocado to the fajitas. I once started eating these in a room full of people and they asked "where did you get those?" thinking they were leftover from a restaurant because they smelled so good! I think it's a good idea to cook the veggies for a few minutes before adding the chicken since veggies take longer to cook and I tend to overcook the chicken when I add everything to the pan together, waiting for the peppers to cook. Anyway, these are amazing and very importantly, HEALTHY!!! I love the vinegary-ness of it (vinegar is a great way to add flavour without adding salt or sugar), despite another viewer's comments. Please enjoy!! :) Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding! I made it as the recipe was written with only one change. I added the juice of one fresh lime, instead of lime juice. My family gobbled it down. There were no left-overs! Thanks for sharing!

This doesn't taste like your typical fajitas. The marinade tastes more like a pasta salad dressing. I was a little hesitant about making it when I tasted the marinade but it didn't come out too bad. I followed the exact recipe but when I tasted it in the pan, I felt like it was missing something so I added a dash of cayenne, salt & cumin. Then I rolled up the chicken in corn tortillas and added cheddar & sour cream. It was pretty good and it took less than half an hour to make. I also didn't marinate the chicken.

when you put the chicken in the pan to fry it, make sure its dry, otherwise there is too much liquid and it doesnt fry, it boils.

I used Italian dressing (I didn't realize the recipe called for dry packets until too late) and I used pork (chicken was expensive this week) and still got the WHAT IS THAT AWESOME SMELL?!?! from my 6th grader. So I'll be making this again with chicken and dry packets for sure. Thanks very much!

Surprisingly good! After I cooked the mixture, I tasted it and thought it was going to be just sort of so-so. When put together with a warm flour tortilla, some cheddar cheese, sour cream and salsa, the flavors popped. Definitely will make again! I had a few minor changes, but otherwise made it the exactly the same: (1.) Cut olive oil to 1/3 cup, (2.) cut vinegar to 1/4 cup and (3.) added some mushrooms. As other reviewers have mentioned, the meat and veggies needed to be drained several times when cooking. We all loved these -- even our 3 1/2 year old! This one will be a new favorite around here.
