CHICKEN AND VEGGIE FAJITAS
Chicken breast and veggies (yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli) cooked fajita-style. Adjust the veggies to your liking or try adding other vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes, etc). Use a fajita seasoning that you apply and let sit for at least 30 minutes (choose any brand). Don't use any fajita sauce mix that is stirred in while cooking. You will need a grill pan or large skillet (use cast iron if available), 1 gallon zip-top bag, a medium bowl or plastic container with a lid, and a large mixing bowl. I use both a grill, for cooking the chicken, and a grill pan, to cook the vegetables. You could cook the entire recipe on a grill using a grill tray or foil to prevent the veggies from falling through the grates. For a vegetarian meal, omit the chicken. For a lighter fare, use corn tortillas instead of flour.

Steps:
- If using a fajita spice blend (not in a pack with directions), liberally season chicken breast with fajita seasoning and place in a 1 gallon zip-top bag. Add 2 tsp lime juice, 1-2 tbsp cilantro, and vegetable oil to bag. Close bag and evenly spread/shake mixtures over chicken breast. Let set in refrigertor for at least 30 minutes.
- If using a seasoning packet, follow the directions on the label to the mix the seasoning. Place the chicken breast into a 1 gallon zip-top bag and pour 3/4 of the spice mixture into the bag, reserving 1/4 of the sauce. Add 1-2 tbsp cilantro and 1-2 tsp lime juice. Close the bag and spread the mixture to evenly coat the chicken. Let set in refrigertor for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the broccoli florest off the stalks and place into the bowl with the squash.
- Clean and dry the squash and zucchini. Cut the squash and zucchini on the bias (at an angle) into slices about 1/4 inch thick and place into a container or bowl with a lid.
- If using a spice blend, mix 1-2 tbsp fajita spices, 2 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp cilantro, and 2 tsp lime juice and a small bowl and pour over vegetables. If using a seasoning mix, pour remaining 1/4 over vegetables along with 2 tbsp cilantro and 1-2 tsp lime juice. Place lid firmly on bowl/container and shake to evenly coat vegetables, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- Turn grill onto medium high or place grill pan onto stovetop and turn heat onto medium high.
- Slice onions and bell peppers. Cut ends off onion and cut in half, from end to end. Slice onion into 1/4 inch slices. Cut open bell peppers and clean out seeds and ribs. Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- Remove lid from container and place vegetables into hot pan, without crowding, and cook for 5-8 minutes, turning half way through to brown both sides. The broccoli will cook faster than the other vegetables, so turn it first and remove if it begins to burn. If all vegetables will not fit into pan split into 2 batches. Once cooked remove and place into a bowl. Cover will foil to keep warm.
- Take chicken from bag and place into hot pan. Cook chicken 7-9 minutes until chicken begins to turn color on the top side. Turn over and add bell peppers and onions. Cook another 5-8 minutes until thoroughly cooked through. The juice should run clear and the temperature of the chicken should be 160 degrees.
- Remove chicken from pan and place on a cutting board. Turn the bell peppers over in the pan and add the sliced onion to the pan. Cook for another 5-8 minutes until unions and bell pepper have become tender.
- While bell pepper and onions are cooking, cut the chicken across the grain (from side to side) into slices about 1/4" thick.
- Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan, stir to combine, reduce heat to medium low, and cook until everything is hot.
- Serve, in the pan, with tortillas, grated cheese, sour cream, picante sauce, and pico de gallo.

Steps:
- For the marinade: In a blender, combine the olive oil, chili powder, Worcestershire, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice. Next add the sugar, salt and pepper and blend the marinade until it's totally combined and smooth.
- For the meat: Place the chicken and beef in separate 2-quart baking dishes or large resealable plastic storage bags. Pour the marinade over the chicken and beef and rub the marinade all over the meat. Give your hands a good wash, and then cover the dishes with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
- For the pico de gallo: Chop the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion into a very small dice. (Leave the seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature.) Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping. No need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.
- For the fajita vegetables: Throw the onions and bell peppers into a bowl and toss with the olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill to high heat.
- Cook the chicken on both sides until completely cooked through (or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Grill the beef on both sides until completely cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Tip the fajita vegetables into a grill basket and grill until cooked, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- To put it all together: Pile the veggies on a platter. Slice the chicken and beef.
- For the fixins: Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm through on the grill. Serve the chicken, beef and veggies with the warm tortillas, Fiesta Beans, grated cheese, sour cream, lime wedges and pico de gallo.
- Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside and let them soak for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
- Drain and rinse the beans, and then place them in a large pot. Add the garlic, green, orange and red bell peppers and the onions. Cover them with about an inch of water, and then add the ham hock or bacon. Next add the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans until tender, about 2 hours. Check the liquid level about halfway through the cooking process; if you'd prefer the beans to be less soupy, you can ladle off about a third of the cooking liquid.

Steps:
- Whisk chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder for fajita seasoning together in a small bowl.
- Trim chicken of any excess fat and place in a large, lidded bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with about 3/4 of the fajita seasoning. Toss, adding more oil if necessary, until coated. Poke chicken with a knife to allow penetration of seasoning and oil. Place the lid on the bowl and shake until chicken is thoroughly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator, shaking every couple of hours, for 4 to 6 hours.
- Remove the marinating bowl from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter until chicken is room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make 2 stacks of 4 tortillas, and wrap each one in aluminum foil.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion. Stir in remaining fajita seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While vegetables are cooking, place tortillas in the oven to warm. At the same time, grill chicken, turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- To assemble fajitas, fill warmed tortillas with chicken, peppers, and onions.
