Description
  Taco Tuesday was a tradition among friends in college, and this recipe suits a crowd really well. Just like my Chicken Fajitas with Peppers recipe, these are an awesome way for each person to build their own meals and have fun at the table. For a no garlic and onion version, see my Low FODMAP Chicken Tacos recipe. Invite some people over to make tacos and whip up some Five Minute Salsa (No Garlic/Onion) or Holy Guacamole; what are you waiting for!

Instructions
1.  Mix together seasonings in a medium bowl or mason jar and set aside

2.  Start with the peppers and onions, since they will take the longest. Preheat a 12" nonstick pan over medium heat with a spray of oil. Wash the vegetables, and cut into long thin strips. Add to the pan with some oil and garlic

3.  Season with your spice mix, about 2 tbsp. Cover and cook until soft, browned, and lightly charred, about 20 minutes. Finish with lime juice


4.  As the peppers cook, move over to the meat. Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, and meat to the pan. Brown the meat, and cook until no longer pink

5.  Stir in the rest spice mixture and pour in water. Reduce heat to 2 and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Uncovered

6.  Stir in the apple cider vinegar and lime juice. Simmer until flavors combine, 3-4 minutes


7.  Serve with Oat-Wheat Tortillas, cheese, and Classic Rice and Beans, or make into a taco salad
