Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with chili powder, and season with salt and pepper. Broil, without turning, until chicken is opaque throughout, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
  • On another rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, toss peppers, onion, garlic, and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice chicken crosswise. Stack and wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel; microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken and pepper mixture to a platter, and serve with tortillas, cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges.

QUICK CHICKEN FAJITA BURRITOS

Always made with refried black beans, which is why I call them burritos. It just doesn't taste right with just meat and veggies. I also like to serve this dish with spinach instead of crunchy lettuce, because it's one of those things that you can easily sneak spinach into for the kids (as if they needed to grow any taller). There are much better recipes for fajitas out there that actually involve marinating or at least brining the chicken, which really does give it better flavor. This is the "quick and dirty" version.

Steps:

  • Cook chicken in a large skillet with oil. Remove cooked chicken; cover and keep warm.
  • Add sliced veggies to pan and cook over high heat 10 minutes or until tender and blackened.
  • Stir in 3 tablespoons of fajita seasoning (recipe below), 1/4 cup water, and lime juice.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, heat beans until hot and shred the cheese. Briefly warm the tortillas.
  • Spoon beans, meat and veggies into tortillas and top with cheese, spinach and sour cream, or have people assemble themselves.
  • Combine last 10 ingredients in a lidded container - I used an old spice jar - and use 3 tablespoons to equal 1 packet of fajita or taco seasoning.

EASY CHICKEN FAJITA MARINADE

This is a simple fajita marinade that has been bounced around in my family for at least 15 years. It's simple, tasty, easily altered for a twist on the taste, and can be easily prepared in under 15 minutes. Serve with other fajita elements and enjoy! Some ideas: sauteed green bell pepper with white or yellow onions, jalapeno slaw, homemade salsa (tomato or mango), etc.

Steps:

  • Whisk vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl to make a marinade. Place chicken strips into a large resealable plastic bag; pour marinade over chicken. Knead bag to coat chicken with marinade. Squeeze out air, seal bag, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken strips from marinade; discard used marinade.
  • Grill chicken on preheated grill until browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes per side.
