TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS

Host a fun fiesta in your own backyard with this festive recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

6 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts

Marinade:

1/2 Cup tequila
1/2 Cup lime juice (juice of 4 limes)
1/4 Cup olive oil
1 TB. chili powder
1 TB. ground cumin
1 TB. minced garlic
1 TB. cilantro, dried or 1/4 Cup fresh, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper

Fajitas:

1 TB. olive oil
2 medium green pepper, cut into thin slices
2 medium red or yellow pepper, cut into thin slices
1 large sweet onion, cut into medium-sized pieces
12 large flour tortillas

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the marinade ingredients and pour into a zip-top bag. Add the chicken breasts and marinate at least a few hours (overnight is best) in the refrigerator.

Grill the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for about 7-8 minutes per side or until done. Let rest a few minutes, and then cut into 1/2-inch strips immediately before serving.

While the chicken is grilling, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the peppers and onion and cook for no more than 3-5 minutes so that the vegetables are still a little crisp.

Serve the chicken and vegetables on the flour tortillas with sides of rice and/or beans.
