{Grilled Chicken Fajitas}

I really like these fajitas b/c they have a more lighter fresh taste than the usual fajita seasoning. They are really good. I still have yet to try them on the grill b/c it's not warm enough outside, but you can guarantee i will be grilling these when it's hot outside! :) These are a wonderful new change from the usual fajita taste, so try them out!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup squeezed lime juice

6 tbsp. canola oil or olive oil, divided

3 cloves of minced garlic

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tsp. brown sugar

1 jalapeno seeded, ribbed, diced (optional)

1 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro

1 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. pepper

About 1 1/2 lbs. of chicken breasts, sliced

1 large red onion, sliced

2 large bell peppers, sliced

Whole wheat flour tortillas

avocado(optional)

cotija cheese(optional)

Directions:

In a medium bowl wisk together 4 tbsp. oil, lime, garlic, sauce, b. sugar, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. (Do not marinade it for hours like i did the last time i made them. It will taste too strong and not as good.)

You can either cook all of this on the grill, or do what i have done so far and cook it over the stove on medium-high heat. Of course, discard the marinade before cooking your chicken. When the chicken is done, take it out and put the chicken in a medium sized bowl. Turn the heat up to high and throw in your veggies. When they look tender, but not too tender, take them out and throw them in the bowl with the cooked sliced chicken.

Poor the reserved marinade in the bowl with the chicken and veggies and mix all together.

*Warm up your tortillas to soften them up.

For this meal, i like to add fresh everything, since that's the feeling i get from eating this meal. I chop up avocado into small bite size pieces and put it on top of the chicken mixture in my tortillas. You can also add some mexican cotija cheese, which is what i did. Squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle a little bit of fresh cilantro over the top. You can add sour cream if you like, but i didn't with these. And of course, use whole wheat flour tortillas! Enjoy!
