Fajitas are pretty much one of my favorite dishes of all time. Well, really anything Mexican will please my palate. One of my favorite standby recipes is my chicken lime fajitas, which seemed like a nice meal for the first night of football (not to worry, we had wings for the 1pm games.)
Chicken Lime Fajitas
3 skinless chicken breasts
3 limes
1 clove of garlic
2 sprigs of fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tortillas
Accompaniments:
1/2 of an avocado
2 red peppers
1/2 of a yellow onion
salsa
Directions:
1. Place chicken breasts into one gallon size plastic bag.
2. Cut up limes into wedges (I quartered each one). Squeeze over chicken breasts and toss lime wedges (after squeezing) into plastic bag.
3. Mince garlic and dice cilantro. Add to bag.
4. Pour olive oil in bag. Seal bag and use fingers to mix ingredients around.
5. Allow to marinate. I let it marinate overnight, but a few hours would be fine.
6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
7. Grease 13x9 baking pan and lay chicken breasts flat. Place lime wedges on and around chicken, and dump remainder of marinade in the pan.
8. Cook for 30-35 minutes.
9. Slice into strips and place onto warmed tortillas. Add whatever accompaniments your heart desires. We used a little homemade corn salsa, sliced avocado, and some yellow onion and red pepper sauteed in olive oil.
Happy Eating!
