I mentioned at the bottom of my June dinners post how I normally do fajitas. I decided to try something different. It was good, but not worth the extra effort. I'll probably stick to using the seasoning pack, but the lime juice does add a nice touch. Just squeeze that in and you're good to go! Here's the recipe anyway-
- Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14.25-ounce) can low-salt beef broth
- Fajitas:
- 1 pound skinned, boned chicken breast
- 2 red bell peppers, each cut into 12 wedges
- 2 green bell peppers, each cut into 12 wedges
- 1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into 16 wedges
- Cooking spray
- 16 (6-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
- 1 cup bottled salsa
- 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Fresh cilantro sprigs
- Preparation
To prepare marinade, combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups marinade and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Combine remaining marinade, bell peppers, and onion in a zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Prepare grill.
- Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Remove vegetables from bag; reserve marinade. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; set aside. Place chicken and vegetables on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 8 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
- Wrap tortillas tightly in foil; place tortilla packet on grill rack the last 2 minutes of grilling time. Bring reserved marinade to a boil. Place the chicken and vegetables on a serving platter; drizzle with reserved marinade.
- Arrange about 1 ounce chicken, 3 bell pepper wedges, and 1 onion wedge in a tortilla; top with 1 tablespoon salsa, about 1 teaspoon sour cream, and 1/2 tablespoon cilantro. Fold sides of tortilla over filling. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
