Fiesta Chicken Fajitas

From Church Cookbook:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/4 c. line juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2-1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
2Tsp oil
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup each red, yellow and green pepper strips
1/4 cup salsa
8 flour tortillas warmed
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Marinate chicken in juice, garlic and seasonings 15 minutes.  Cook chicken in oil 2-3 minutes or until chicken loses pink color.  Add onion and peppers.  Continue cooking 3 minutes or until chicken is tender.  Stir in salsa.  Spoon onto tortillas.  Top with cheese.  Variation-substitute 1 1b. cleaned shrimp for chicken.  (Also, for picky eater who wont eat the red ,yellow and green pepper strips, I omit those for their torillas). (For those who don't like salsa, you can also take some chicken pieces out and fill theirs as they like before you add the salsa step).  Like I say I have some very picky eaters and a plain eater as you can see yet there are a couple of us who like the whole recipe, so I find ways to please all.
