Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
1-2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 jalepeƱo peppers, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon chipotle pepper sauce, more or less to taste
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 jalepeƱo peppers, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon chipotle pepper sauce, more or less to taste
Directions:
Place the dry spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Spread the dry mixture over both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in to make sure it coats the chicken.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 7-8 minutes on each side.
Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove it to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Add the peppers and onion to the same skillet over medium heat and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
When the peppers are just about done sauteing, slice the chicken breasts into strips.
Add the chicken back into the skillet, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and stir everything together.
