When you say stir-fry you usually think Chinese food but it also is a pretty good description of mixing up a quick batch of chicken fajitas. I throw this together when I want to use up peppers that are just starting to get a few wrinkles in them or if I have a bunch of leftover grilled chicken from the night before. Substituting leftover grilled steak is another version of this - and it's usually how I 'use up' leftover steak!!! Throw it together and serve with a side salad and Spanish Rice. So quick and easy.
