Not a lot of foods have a signature sound, but if you've ever ordered fajitas at a restaurant, you know the sound we're talking about. It's the wild jungle-cat sizzling sound the platter makes when it arrives from the kitchen. Sure, it's pure restaurant theatrics, but dang it all if it doesn't get us every time. Capture some of that magic in your own kitchen with these fajitas, made with gently spiced chicken breast served on a bed of fresh bell peppers and onion. Pass the warm tortillas around and bask in the ovation for pulling off such a tasty culinary feat.
