CHICKEN FAJITAS
The ingredient that makes this marinade both spicy and sweet is adobo sauce from canned chiles in adobo, a useful sauce that I had not thought to use in marinades until I was introduced to the idea by the cookbook author and television host Pati Jinich. The sauce has enough heat, so I don't use the canned chipotles, though you could add one if you wanted. I hold back a couple of tablespoons of the marinade and use it to finish the vegetables and deglaze the pan.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine lime zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, the adobo sauce and optional minced chipotle, 1/4 cup olive oil and half the garlic. Mix well. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in a resealable bag. Pour in the marinade and seal bag. Move chicken around to coat well, place bag in a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours). Flip the bag over from time to time to redistribute marinade.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add onions and cook, stirring, until they soften and begin to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and chile and cook, stirring, until peppers begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn heat to medium, add remaining garlic and cumin and salt to taste, and cook, stirring often, until peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Add half the cilantro, and stir together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a low oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
- Heat grapeseed or canola oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Remove chicken breasts from marinade, reserving marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Add to pan, rounded side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly charred. Flip breasts over, pour in marinade, cover pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook 12 to 15 minutes, flipping over from time to time, until a thermometer registers 160 to 165 degrees when inserted into thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes, then cut across the grain into 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick strips.
- Arrange lettuce on a platter, then place chicken next to lettuce. Tip juices from cutting board over chicken and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve vegetables on the same platter or separately. Serve with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.

SAUSAGE FAJITAS
Sizzling fajitas are such a quick weeknight meal. I like to switch up the usual chicken or beef strips with sliced chicken sausage because it's already loaded with flavor and all you have to do is warm it in the oven! A spicy one, like jalapeño chicken sausage, adds a little heat, but green chile, garlic or roasted red pepper chicken sausage would all work well here, too.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Cut the sausage into thin slices on the diagonal (1/4 to 3/8 inch thick). Place on the prepared sheet pan and broil according to the package directions (or about 9 minutes) until warmed through.
- Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large skillet over medium-high heat then add the oil. Add the onions and peppers. Season with the chili powder, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are slightly softened and charred, 7 to 9 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze, then stir. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the sausage and lime juice and stir to combine.
- To warm the tortillas, turn a gas burner on medium-low heat or let a heavy skillet get very hot over medium-low heat. Place a tortilla on the flame or skillet and let char for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and wrap in a clean kitchen towel as you go to keep them warm until serving.
- Serve the sausage, onion and pepper mix in the warmed tortillas and top with guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
