Grilled Chicken Fajitas


Ingredients:
4 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, halved, thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 (6”) flour tortillas, warmed

Fajita Seasoning
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lime zest
Juice from 1 lime
1 tbsp olive oil

Garnishes: Salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sliced black olives, etc.

Directions:
Heat grill to cooking temperature.  In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the fajita seasoning; stir until completely combined.  Place the chicken into a re-sealable bag, and pour marinade into bag; coat chicken evenly with marinade and let sit for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat; add peppers and onions.  Cook until vegetables are tender.  While vegetables are cooking, place chicken on the grill and cook about 6 minutes per side (or until chicken is cooked completely through); remove from grill and cut into thin strips.  Serve cooked peppers, onions, and sliced chicken over top of tortillas and garnished with your favorite fajita toppers!  Serves 4.
