The Best Fajitas Ever!

I made up this recipe after having such a reaction to packaged fajita seasonings and the loads of MSG they put in them. I taught my hubby how to do this recipe, and he can do it no problem on his own now. We have made these with chicken and steak, but this is the pork version.

Fajitas:
1 lb pork loin chops sliced thin into strips
1 red bell pepper julianned (sliced into thin strips)
1 yellow bell pepper julianned
1/2 sweet white onion julianned
1/2 package white mushrooms sliced
tortilla wraps
fresh cilantro as garnish
other toppings: cheese, tomatoes, greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)

For seasoning:
2 tbsp brown sugar
1tsp cumin
1tbsp chili powder
dashes of salt and pepper

Heat skillet with a few turns of olive oil. Add vegetables. Stir together seasonings and divide in half. Pour half of the seasonings into veggies, cook appx 5 minutes until veggies are cooked but still a little crisp. Remove veggies from pan. Add another turn of olive oil to same skillet, add pork and cook appx 2 mins. Add rest of seasonings to pork and cook until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink. Add fresh cilantro on top for garnish.
You can use pork, chicken, shrimp or steak.

Serve with tortilla wraps and toppings.
