This is a quick and easy weeknight recipe that we enjoyed last week. Besides the basic pantry items, all you really need is a chicken breast, red pepper, onion, and tortillas… simple!
Easy Chicken Fajitas (from Food and Wine)
You will need…
1 teaspoon Chile Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 Chicken Breast (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into strips
1 White Onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/4 cup Water
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
6-8 corn Tortillas, warmed
Sour Cream
Hot Sauce, such as Cholula
Directions:
Combine the first six ingredients (chile powder through cornstarch) in a small bowl and stir well to combine. Place the chicken, pepper, onion, olive oil and water in a large ziplock bag and sprinkle in the dry ingredient mixture. Close the bag and mix/flip well so that the chicken is covered. Allow to marinade in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Add in the chicken mixture and stir occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the lime juice and serve in the warmed corn tortillas with sour cream and a few drops of hot sauce.
