First, Happy Cinco De Mayo! May your day be full of Tequila!
Ok, now on to the good stuff. I love Mexican food. Tacos, enchiladas, rellenos, quesadillas, and...Fajitas! The onions, peppers, lime juice, and of course sour cream! What's not to like? We make both beef and chicken fajitas. I have a recipe for each. Tonight we chose chicken. Always a good choice. So, without further ado, here it is!
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Filling:
1 medium onion, julienned
1 sweet red pepper, julienned
1 green bell pepper julienned
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
Tortillas warmed
Salsa and sour cream, optional
Directions:
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Drain and discard marinade. In a large nonstick skillet, saute the chicken, onion and pepper in oil for 5 minutes. Combine the lime juice and soy sauce; pour into skillet. Cook until chicken is cooked thoroughly and vegetables are tender. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture onto tortillas. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.
