Honey Lime Chicken Fajitas
Chicken marinated in a homemade honey lime dressing then sauteed, paired with grilled veggies and toppings. Serve with tortillas or rice as a fajita bowl.
Ingredients
For the Honey Lime Marinade:
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 rounded teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-3 chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
For the Fajita Veggies:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 green pepper, 1 orange pepper, 1 red onion, 1 yellow onion - each cut into strips (any veggie of choice works here - zucchini, squash, mushrooms, spinach, etc.)
For Serving:
- Flour tortillas (or corn tortillas or rice)
- Light sour cream
- Salsa
- Shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack)
- Shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle strips of chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes. While the chicken marinates, prepare the veggies.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions. Cook until softened, about 7-10 minutes.
- Transfer the peppers and onions to a serving dish. Add the contents of the small bowl to the warm skillet containing 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, if necessary. Cook until chicken is done and browned and liquid has evaporated. Transfer to serving dish.
- Warm tortillas between wet paper towels in the microwave, and transfer toppings to serving dishes. Serve all components separately and fill tortillas as desired. If making burrito bowls, fill bowls with rice and top with chicken, sauteed veggies, and toppings.
