Garlic Onion Chicken Fajitas with Lime image

The aroma of the lime is so good, and when you cook it it fills the kitchen and people come-a-running. I accompany this with southwest-style rice.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried cilantro leaves
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Whisk orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, dried onion, oregano, cilantro, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Measure out 1/4 cup of the marinade and set aside. Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag, place chicken in the bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook and stir chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Cook and stir pepper and onion in the same skillet with reserved 1/4 cup of marinade until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas.

These fajitas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

I had some trouble getting the chicken to cook evenly. I think I'll try cooking it in a skillet next time.
