Tequila Orange Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast
- juice of one orange
- Zest of one lime or lemon
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tequila
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked chipotle powder
- good splash of olive oil
- 1/2 onion thinly sliced
- 1 red or orange bell pepper sliced
Instructions
- Place juice, zest, soy, tequila, chipotle powder and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl with your chicken and let marinate overnight in the fridge, or at least a few hours.
- Grill the chicken breast until cooked through.
- Heat up a sauté pan and put in a splash of olive oil.
- Throw in your onions and peppers and cook until soft and browning about 10 min.
- Slice the cooked chicken and add to the pan to brown and reheat.
- Serve in flour or corn tortillas with topping suggestions below.
Today I kept the toppings simple - some grated cheese (I love the mexican blend one) and some chopped avocado with a drizzle of Sriracha - but if you want to get fancy I would do 2 sauces - mash an avocado with some lemon juice and a couple tablespoons sour cream and a dash of salt and for the other sauce take about a 1/4 cup of mayo and a good tablespoon of Sriracha and mix up. Then drizzle (with a squeeze bottle if you have one) or just drizzle both sauces on top. As you might know - I HATE cilantro - so I wouldn't sprinkle on top - but if you are one of those people that loves that soapy tasting green stuff - go for it!
Post note: For Jane (My blog expert, Miss Bay Area and friend!) hope you win the fajita cook off! You are the best!!
Post Post Note: If you are worried about the tequila for the kiddos - don't be - it totally cooks out, but if you really don't want to use it - don't - not the end of the fajita world, they will still be delish!
