Mexican night just became a little more simplified and flavorful with this recipe for Chicken Fajitas. One of my favorite things in life is Latino and Spanish recipes. Over the years, I have enjoyed family vacations to South America and abroad dining in some of the most renowned restaurants that serve Latino and Spanish Cuisine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients needed for chicken and marinade

• Four boneless and skinless chicken breasts sliced into strips

• One cup of Goya, Mojo Criollo

• One and 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

• One teaspoon ground cumin

• One teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

• Juice of one lime

 

 

Directions for marinade

1. Place Chicken that has been cut into strips into a large capacity zip lock bag. Add all other ingredients to the container. Completely seal and double-check that it is 100% sealed.

2. Gently shake back bag to mix ingredients. Once done, remove excess air from the ziplock and reseal—place in the refrigerator.

3. You can marinate for up to 8 hours.

 

 

 

Other ingredients

• One large green pepper, sliced into strips

• One large red pepper, sliced into strips

• One large yellow pepper, sliced into strips

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

• kosher salt

• fresh ground pepper

 

 

Garnish Ingredients

• Two Limes sliced into wedges.

• Favorite homemade salsa, or your brand

• Sliced avocado

• Chopped cilantro

• Sour cream, if desired.

 

 

Directions for vegetables and meat

1.  When I make our fajitas, I do not marinate the vegetables and chicken together. If you wish to, you may reserve some of the marinades for your vegetables from above. I prefer my vegetables to be on the more firm side. I would suggest only marinating the peppers for about 30 minutes as you will notice they will have a slight texture breakdown.

2. Remove chicken from ziplock place on a clean plate or dish.

3. Use non-stick spray on the pan—heat grilling pan to medium heat. Place chicken in pan and grill for about 7-8 minutes or wholly done. Once done, remove it from the grilling pan and place it on the plate.

4. Add a little more cooking spray and lightly grill all peppers, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

5. Assemble all of the other ingredients (garnishes).

6. Warm the flour tortillas until pliable

7. Serve the chicken on a platter with garnishes and warmed tortillas.
