Lime Chicken Fajitas...best homemade fajitas ever!!!
You really can make fajitas any way you want...but the marinade for the chicken and veggies is what makes the fajitas so good. I am a super picky eater, so I am always tweaking recipes I find to make them so I know I will like them. The marinade on this one though, I did not mess with and I am not sure any tweaking is needed...ever!
Marinade ingredients:
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
2 teaspoons of cumin
I started out by cutting up my chicken into little pieces. I also cute up the veggies (peppers & onion) into strips. I put all the chicken in a zip lock bag and all the veggies in a different zip lock bag.
Mix together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. After you stir, pour 1/2 the marinade in the chicken bag and the other 1/2 in the veggie bag. Let them marinade for a good 30 minutes.
After it's all marinaded, I put the chicken in a stove top pan to cook. After the chicken was cooked, I added in the peppers and onions. Once that is all cooked together...you are ready to build your fajitas.
Everyone likes different things on their fajitas. I usually cook some rice so I can put that in mine along with sour cream, cheese, lettuce and salsa. So yummy and I am drooling just thinking about theses. We have made this recipe 3 times now and it is definitely on the dinner calendar every other week now!!!
