Chicken fajitas with white lime cilantro rice

Making fajitas is by far my favorite dish! 

If you have the time let the fajita meat marinate for several hours. 

I have also made this dish after work, and only let it marinate for less than 30 minutes & it still tastes great. 

I mostly use chicken but you can also use beef. 

My standard fajita recipe: *Note this is the spicy version! 

4 servings 

2-3 chicken breasts

* I use frozen chicken breasts. If I'm short on time, than I defrost the chicken in the microwave until it is thawed. If I'm making this before work, then I place the frozen chicken in the bag to marinate. 

1 small white or red onion thinly sliced depending on your choice. 

2 peppers thinly sliced depending on your choice: Red, yellow, orange, or green. 

All of them work great together. 

2-3 T Soy sauce

1-2 T Worcestershire sauce

1-2 t of Hot sauce (Examples include Valentina or Tabasco)

1 T refrigerated minced garlic 

1 t Cumin 

1 t Red peppers flakes 

1 t chili power 

* For extra variation you could add jalapènos and/or poblano peppers. *

I add all the ingredients into a gallon bag to let them marinate. Minimum 30 minutes or longer depending on time.  

Grilling the fajitas: 

I usually place foil on the grill first, & then place the chicken breasts on the foil. Then I place the veggies in a basket & grill everything until cooked. Flip the chicken once & stir the veggies several times. Usually 10-15 minutes. The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink. Let the chicken rest a few minutes before slicing the chicken into strips. 

Cooking the fajitas on the Stove: 

You can use one skillet. Spray the skillet with a non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the middle & place the veggies around the chicken. Cook the chicken until no longer pink. Again, let the chicken rest a few minutes before slicing the chicken into strips. 

I use whole wheat tortillas & You can top the fajitas with anything!

Here are some ideas: salsa, shredded cheese, queso cheese, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, mexican rice, lime cilantro rice, refined beans, black beans, corn salsa, green tomatillo salsa, green onions, and a dollop of daisy! 

**Sour cream will be referred to as: a dollop of daisy. 

The lime cilantro rice recipe will be coming soon.... It wasn't good the first time around... I need to work on that recipe. 

Enjoy!!
