Chicken Fajitas Recipe

Chicken Fajitas

¼ cup lime juice

1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tsp. canola oil

1 garlic clove, minced

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. chili pepper

½ tsp. cayenne pepper

¼ tsp. pepper

1 tsp. liquid smoke, optional

2 boneless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each)

Filling:   2 tsp. canola oil

1 medium onion, julienned

½ small sweet red or green pepper, julienned

1 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

½ tsp. lime juice

4 fat-free tortillas (6 inch), warmed

Salsa and sour cream, optional

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first eight ingredients; if desired, add liquid smoke.  Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Drain chicken, discarding marinade.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly.  Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from heat 4-6 minutes on each side or a thermometer reads 165 F.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add onion and red pepper; cook and stir 5-7 minutes or until tender.  Stir in soy sauce and lime juice.

Cut chicken into thin slices; add to vegetables.  Serve tortillas and, if desired, salsa and sour cream.
