GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 green pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips lengthwise
- 1 sweet red pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips lengthwise
- 1 yellow pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips lengthwise
- 1 onion, peeled and cut into rings
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 flour tortillas, 6 or 7 inch size
- guacamole
- shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- salsa
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and taco seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to serve. In a large bowl combine fajita seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and hot sauce. Add chicken and toss to coat thoroughly and set aside. Brush the peppers and onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the veggies on a foil covered rack over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred, turning a few times as they cook. When done, remove from the grill and add the chicken to the rack. Close lid and cook until no longer pink in the center, approximately 4-6 minutes. When done, remove from the grill then add tortillas. Cook until just heated through, about 30 seconds per side. Serve with guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa and sour cream mixture.
