Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas



I ended October with a bang last night, I made Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas. I feel like I am slowly taking on my Dad's cooking talents with age because WOW they were good. I would like to share the recipe with everyone.

Prep time: 15 min
Marinate: 30 min
Cook time: 10 min


These ingredients are the key:

1 tsp. Minced Garlic
1 tsp. Minced Onions
3/4 tsp. Ground Cumin
3/4 tsp. Oregano Leaves
1/2 tsp. Cilantro Leaves
1/2 tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper

You will also need:

1/4 Cup each lime and orange juices
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 lbs. Boneless Chicken Breasts, cut into thin strips
1 medium green and red Bell Pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
8 Flour Tortillas (the 8-inch ones)

Secret ingredient: Ranch

Directions:
1. Mix juices, oil and all spices and salt into bowl. Reserve a fourth cup of the marinade. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag and add the remaining marinade. Refrigerate the bag for 30 minutes.

2. Cook and stir chicken in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the chicken from skillet. Add bell pepper, onion and reserve marinade; cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
