Chicken Fajitas

Love fajitas - such an easy weeknight meal, plus the leftovers are fabulous! You can buy a marinade at the store, but why not make your own? It tastes better and you can use good quality ingredients!

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts sliced or cubed
2 bell peppers your choice - red and orange or yellow and green thinly sliced - just mix it up!
1 jalapenos pepper minced - if you aren't a fan of heat, remove the ribs and seeds. That's where the heat comes from
1 onion cut into slivers
⅓ cup olive oil
3 limes juiced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon coriander
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
corn and/or flour tortillas

Instructions

Prepare & slice/dice the chicken. Put in a gallon Ziploc bag.
Slice the peppers and onion - add them to the chicken, set aside.
Combine the remaining ingredients; oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, cilantro, garlic, salt & pepper into a small bowl, whisk to combine.
Pour marinade over chicken and peppers, seal tightly and mix the marinade throughout the bag to combine.
Put the bag into a large bowl (just in case it springs a leak!). Flip the bag a couple of times to distribute the marinade.
On a hot grill or with a heavy fry pan, heat to medium/medium-high and fry until the veggie are just crisp and the chicken is cooked thru.
