Chicken Fajitas
Date added: 2020/09/19
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken Breast cut into 1cm² strips
- 1 Medium Onion
- 2 Bell Peppers (I like a red and a green)
- Preferred Tortillas (We like flour)
- optional
- Sour Cream
- Cheese
Marinade
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Mexican Oregano
- 1 TBS Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Juice of 1 lime
Method
- Combine chicken with all spices in a bowl
- Add fresh lime juice and massage together, let marinate while prepping other ingredients
- Cut onion into strips (We call them “moons” no idea what the correct french word is) and fry in a dry pan over high heat (cast iron is ideal but not necessary here). Season with ~1/4tsp salt and do not stir so it will char. Stir after first side has charred; continue until cooked to your preference
- Remove onions from pan and set aside in a large clean bowl
- Repeat above step twice with one pepper at a time. It is important not to crowd the pan for charring to occur
- Reduce heat to medium and let pan cool slightly
- Fry chicken in batches (it takes us two batches) adding an appropriate quantity of oil each time, removing each batch to the vegetable bowl
- Add ~1/3cup water to empty pan and scrape to de-glaze on high heat, reduce by ~1/2.
- Add vegetables and chicken back to pan, stir to coat, heat until everything is reheated
- Serve immediately
Notes
- Recipe calls for cumin, Gab omitted it last time, try with it next time.
