Margarita Fajitas Chicken

Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 4 hrs Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 12 ounces corona beer
  • 1/3 cup tequila (jose cuervo gold is best)
  • 1/3 cup rose's lime juice or 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 green peppers, sliced into rings (or 1 red and 1 green)
  • 1 onion, sliced, rings separated
  • 8 soft flour tortillas
  • shredded cheese
  • sliced black olives
  • chopped lettuce
  • salsa
  • sour cream (i prefer fat free)
  • sliced diced jalapenos or sliced diced jalapeno
  • diced tomato
  • guacamole

Recipe

  • 1 in a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
  • 2 add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • 3 (overnight works best, if possible) heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
  • 4 when thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
  • 5 add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
  • 6 heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
  • 7 if you don't have a tortilla warmer, i've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
  • 8 place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
  • 9 top as desired with remaining ingredients.
  • 10 it's kinda fun to let people create their own.
