Ingredients
-
¼ cup avocado oil
-
¼ cup tequila or water
-
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (about 1 large lime)
-
1 tablespoon Fajita Seasoning Blend
-
¼ teaspoon sea salt, optional
-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness
-
1-2 large poblano peppers, cut into 3 sections, seeds removed
-
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 3 sections, seeds removed
-
1 medium onion, sliced ¾-inch thick
-
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
-
Toppings such as pico de gallo, guacamole, shredded lettuce
Directions
In a large glass storage container with tight-fitting lid, combine first 5 ingredients set aside.
Using a fork, pierce chicken all over (to allow marinade to infuse chicken while marinating); add to marinade with peppers and onions. Seal well and toss to coat. Refrigerate several hours or up to overnight.
Prepare grill to medium heat. Remove chicken and vegetables from marinade (discard marinade) and place on grill. Grill, turning chicken once and vegetables occasionally, until vegetables are desired doneness and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.
To serve, warm tortillas on grill or in a skillet. Slice or chop chicken and vegetables. Fill with chicken, vegetables and desired toppings.
Notes
Skillet Option:
Prepare step 1 and 2, slicing chicken and
vegetables before adding to marinade. For step 3, heat a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Remove chicken and
vegetables from marinade (discard marinade) and add to skillet.
