Time 2h14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 36

2 cups water
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1 tablespoon ground chipotle chile pepper
2 teaspoons hickory liquid smoke
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced onions
2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon canned green chili pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch dried dill weed
1 pinch cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Note: (A maximum of 2 hour) marinating required, so allow for time.
  • Comgine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Add four chicken breasts to the marinade, cover and chill for 2 hours. Don't let the chicken marinate for much more than that or it could get tough.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the dipping sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well then cover and chill. This will allow all the flavors to develop.
  • Combine pico de gallo ingredients; cover and chill.
  • To complete the fajita rollups, preheat grill to medium/high heat. Grill the chicken breast for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until done.
  • Build each roll-up by first laying a large flour tortilla in a large skillet over low-heat. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the combined cheeses over the surface of the tortilla while it heats up in the pan. When the cheese begins to melt, remove the tortilla from the pan. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded lettuce in a strip across the center of the tortilla, followed by about 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo. Slice one grilled chicken breast into bite-size chunks and arrange the chicken on the lettuce. Fold the ends of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom. Make a diagonal cut across the center of the roll-up and serve with a small dish of the Mexi-Ranch dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Choose the Right Tortillas: For the best results, use large, soft flour tortillas. They are less likely to tear and can hold more fillings.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Don't Overfill the Tortillas: Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, or they will become difficult to roll up and may break. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
  • Roll the Tortillas Tightly: Roll the tortillas up tightly, starting from one side and rolling towards the other. This will help keep the fillings inside.
  • Use a Grill Pan or Skillet: To get the best results, cook the fajita rollups in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. This will give them a nice char and crispy texture.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the fajita rollups immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese.
