Chipotle Chicken Fajitas
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
-
Start by marinating the chicken. Combine the lime juice, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, olive oil and 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce from your can of chipotle peppers.
-
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Be generous with the pepper. Place the chicken in a ziploc bag or bowl and add the marinade. Throw the chicken in the fridge for at least a few hours.
Cook the Chicken
-
After marinating is done, save the marinade for later! If using chicken breast, cook in the oven. If using chicken tenders, cook them in a skillet on the stove top, about 5 minutes on each side. Turn the heat up high to get a nice sear.
-
Once the chicken has cooked, let it rest for ten minutes then chop it up into nice large chunks.
Prepare the Vegetables
-
While the chicken cooks, cut the bell peppers in strips and the onions in half rings (and decently thick). Also dice up two or three chipotles and about a tablespoon of fresh oregano leaves. Use three chipotles if you like spice, one or two if you don’t.
-
Heat up a large pan or skillet, then add olive oil and the minced garlic (about a tablespoon). After a minute, add the onions and cook for a few more minutes until the onions change color and become very yellow.
-
Add the bell peppers and any other veggies. Add the chipotles, the saved marinade, the oregano, and the drained can of fire roasted tomatoes.
-
Let the veggies cook for around 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. At minute 8 of the ten, add the chicken you cooked earlier.
Make the Guacamole
-
While you’re cooking the veggies, prepare your guac! Mash up your avocados, add salt (be generous and taste!), pepper, garlic salt (1 teaspoon) and half an onion (diced).
-
Squeeze some fresh lime juice to taste, and your guac is ready! If you want to really take your guac to the next level, add a half teaspoon of cumin - it adds an earthiness that is delicious. Also try to use himalayan salt.
To Serve
- Serve the fajitas nice and hot with some salsa, sour cream, lime wedges and your guacamole. Buen provecho!
