The No-Brainer Fajita Dinner

Mexican food to me is truly comfort food. And it is so easy to make.  Fajitas, especially, are very easy, low in carbs, and healthy (if you grill the meat/filling).  I realized that I had not been cooking too much meat - so I decided to make Chicken Fajitas for dinner today.  This dish is truly a no-brainer so not much to write as far as the recipe is concerned. Nonetheless, here is the recipe:

Chicken:

3 fillets of chicken, butterfly cut and pounded

Grillers (R) Chipotle Pepper marinade powder

Lime juice

Salt and Pepper

Canned pineapple slices

Wheat flour tortillas

1 medium onion, sliced lengthwise

1 medium red pepper, sliced lengthwise

Wash and pat dry the chicken. Run a knife through the center of the chicken so as to open it up like a book ie. butterfly cut it.  Now wrap it in a saran wrap and pound it down.  Sprinkle some salt and black pepper.  Follow the instructions on the Grillers marinade powder and marinade the chicken in it for atleast 30 minutes.

Grill the chicken on a George foreman or a BBQ grill or the stove, whatever floats your boat.  Remember chicken breast cooks really fast.  Poke and see if the meat is white or better yet use a meat thermometer!! Grill some pineapple slices after draining them.  Lay them on the chicken for a few minutes to get a sweet n spicy taste.  Set aside.  Grill the veggies (onion and red pepper) by throwing them on foil (opened).  Heat the flour tortillas by first lighly dabbing some water and then wrapping them in paper towel and heating them for about 10 to 15 seconds.

Fajitas are ready to be served - Start with the tortillas, add the chicken, black beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, lettuce, and grilled veggies. Wrap it up and gobble gobble!!!

Beans and pico de gallorecipe tomorrow!!
