Chicken Fajitas
4 servings
45 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 4 limes, for juice
  • 1 orange, for juice
  • 1 ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Large zip-top bag
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 package sliced fresh peppers and onions (10–14 oz)
  • 8 medium flour tortillas

Steps

    1. Juice limes (¼ cup) and orange (½ cup). Cut chicken into ½-inch-thick strips and place in bag (wash hands). Combine lime juice, orange juice, seasoning, and oil to make marinade; reserve ¼ cup for later use. Add remaining marinade to bag, seal, and turn to coat chicken. Chill 30 minutes (or overnight) to marinate.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Remove chicken from bag and place in pan (discard marinade); cook and stir 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove chicken from pan. Add peppers and onions and reserved marinade to pan; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
    3. Return chicken to pan; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until chicken is 165°F. Warm tortillas following package instructions; serve chicken mixture in tortillas.
