Thank you Chicken Fajitas Serves 2 3 tbsps fresh lemon juice 3 tbsps corn or safflower oil, divided 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 12 oz. 4 ten inch flour tortillas or 6 corn tortillas 1/2 cup each sliced onion, green, red and yellow peppers 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 medium fresh tomato, diced 1/2 cup grated Jack or Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley 1/2 cup sour cream guacamole and/or shredded lettuce (optional) Preheat oven to 350F. Mix lemon juice, 2 tbsps oil, cumin and cayenne together. Heat for 1 minute in microwave or to boiling point in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Cut chicken into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide and place in warm marinade for 15 minutes. Stir to make sure all chicken is coated. Tightly wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven for 15 minutes. (Use 3 corn tortillas or 2 of the larger flour tortillas for each person.) To finish, heat remaining tbsp of oil in frying pan until smoking. Drain chicken, saving the marinade, and saute in hot pan for about 30 seconds. Add onion, pepper strips and garlic and saute for another minute. Add marinade and toss chicken and vegetables until sauce reduces and coats chicken. To serve, arrange diced tomato, grated cheese, chopped cilantro and sour cream on a serving dish. Spoon chicken and vegetables onto a warm serving dish and place wrapped tortillas on a third dish. Each person can fill a tortilla as he/she likes. If serving guacamole, place on dish with tomato, cheese, etc. You can also serve shredded lettuce with this dish. Each of 2 servings (2 tortillas) has about 1060 calories without guacamole but including cheese and sour cream.
