Eat in tonight with this yummy dish everyone will love! Ingredients:
· 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
· 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus a few drops for sprinkling on the avocado
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 tablespoon chili powder
· 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
· salt
· freshly ground black pepper
· 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced lengthwise
· 2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced lengthwise
· 2 medium onions, peeled and cut into wedges
· 8 flour tortillas
· 1 large ripe tomato, seeded and finely chopped
· 1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced and sprinkled with a few drops of lime juice to prevent browning
· 1-1/2 cups Salsa Fresca, or use your favorite bottled brand
Directions:
1. Wash and dry the chicken breasts and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breasts across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. In a nonreactive mixing bowl combine the lime juice, garlic, chili powder, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste and stir to mix. Stir in the chicken and vegetables and marinate for 1 hour. Preheat the barbecue grill with a fine-meshed vegetable grill on top.
2. Grill the chicken and vegetables on the grill. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a cutting board to slice in strips and then place in a warm platter or preheated skillet.
3. Just before serving, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable and place them in a napkin-lined bread basket. This will take about 5 minutes on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven or toaster oven, or about 15 seconds per side on a barbecue grill. Place the tomato, avocado, and salsa in serving bowls.
4. To serve the fajitas, have each guest place a heaping spoonful of grilled chicken and vegetables on a tortilla. Spoon the tomato, avocado, and salsa on top and roll or fold the tortilla into a neat bundle for eating.
