Chicken Fajitas


Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
12 corn or flour tortillas

Toppings: (as many or as few as you like)
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
2 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or your favourite)
1 cup fresh salsa
1 cup sour cream
1 cup guacamole


Combine lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oil and cilantro. Marinate chicken covered in refrigerator for 1 hour or as long as overnight.

Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or broil the chicken until cooked through.

Meanwhile, place tortillas on a dinner plate covered with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

When the chicken is cooked, cut it into strips and place in bowl.

Place the toppings separate bowls.

Place the tortillas in a napkin lined basket.

Assemble the fajitas by placing chicken on warm tortillas and add desired toppings.
