It is final. My favorite food is onion. Well okay, I am instantly trigger shy about making that statement but I am so into onions right now. We have to pause for a moment for me to consider how people do not totally love onions. And more bafflingly, how people can dislike onions. How any could ever say “no onions, please.” Madness! As a dessert lover, you might be surprised that I have such an infatuation with the staple of the savory world.
But I think I grow to love them more everytime I cook with them and smell their aroma wafting from the skillet. Maybe that’s intense. Know, however, that when I was slicing up onions for this chicken fajita grilled cheese (!), this love story to onions flowed readily from my heart.
CHICKEN FAJITA GRILLED CHEESE
Serves 3-4
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper sliced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING
1 cup cheddar, shredded
1 loaf bread, sliced
Guacamole
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place onion, peppers, and chicken in 9×13 glass baking dish. Drizzle and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle taco seasoning over dish and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 25-35 minutes, stirring once halfway. Top with lime juice.
