This is a recipe for grilled chicken fajitas. I originally got it from the Joy of Cooking cookbook, but I changed it a bit and I prefer to grill this meal rather than cooking on the stove.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise)
2 onions, sliced
2 peppers, halved (I used mini sweet peppers this time)
First I marinate the chicken for an hour or two.
Here's the recipe for the marinade:
1/4 cup liquid - half lime juice, half water
2 scallions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbs cilantro
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
These are the sweet peppers I used this time.
Two onions, halved
These are the extras: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce
After marinating the chicken for an hour or two, I grill it.
Then I add the peppers & onions.
After I take the food off of the grill, I cut the chicken, onion & peppers into strips. Then serve with tortillas, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce.
Other extras: avocado, guacamole, beans, rice (or spanish rice), pico de gallo
If you want to eat a healthier version, you could make a fajita salad instead of using a tortilla, or just eat the chicken, peppers & onions which is very yummy all by itself.
