Sizzling Chicken Fajitas

Rockin Robin from http://www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/chicken-fajita-recipe.html will show you how to make sizzling chicken fajitas that taste wonderful.

Ingredients: * 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts * 2 medium yellow onions sliced into 1/4 inch strips * 1 large red bell pepper sliced into 1/4 inch strips * 2 medium zucchini, sliced into strips

Marinade * 1/2 cup olive oil * 1 tsp. liquid smoke * 2 tbs apple cider vinegar * 1 tsp. honey * 1/4 cup water * 1 tbs. fresh lime juice * 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 1/2 tsp. oregano leaves * 1 tsp. soy sauce

Toppings * a bowl of sour cream * guacamole * salsa * 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese * lime wedges, optional * fajita size flour tortillas

Directions:
Rinse your chicken under cold water and slice into 1/2 inch strips or so.

Slice the onion, zucchini, and bell pepper into 1/4 inch strips.

Make the marinade by adding all the marinade ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine ingredients.

Pour 2/3 of the marinade over the chicken strips and 1/3 over the vegetables that you have placed in a zip loc bag. Shake the veggies to distribute the marinade. Place the chicken and vegetables in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour.

Heat a cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for several minutes until chicken is cooked through. Set aside.

Add a teaspoon or two of oil to the pan and add the vegetables. Cook about 5 minutes or until they are softened a bit but not too limp.

In the mean time heat a comal over high heat so that when veggies are done you can place the chicken and veggies on it so that it will sizzle.

Heat some flour tortillas in the tortilla oven as shown in video. Get yourself one of those tortilla ovens. They are great. You can find them on my website at the Mexican store.




Serve your sizzling fajitas with sour cream and fresh guacamole and shredded cheese and you are in for a treat.

I'm going to make ur fajitas tonight for dinner later on I hope they turn out good:) I have one more question how ling should I let my cast iron skillet heat up and what temp like med or high and with this marinade us there plenty if seasoning and flavor.....

@brittneydargusch21

You want the cast iron skillet hot. Test it by sprinkling some water on top. It should sizzle away. 5 to 10 minutes on high should do it. The good thing about cast iron is that you can get it really hot without hurting the pan. Not the case with teflon. I hope you enjoy it. The only way you are going to know if there is plenty of seasoning and flavor is to try it.

Also can I use a frozen bag of onions and peppers instead of fresh or will it not be the same

[cookingmexicanrecipe]

@brittneydargusch21 I don't think using frozen onions and peppers will be as good as fresh but you can try it. Let us know how it turns out.

[brittneydargusch21]

Would it be good to add mushrooms to the vegetables and also would it be bad to add a seasoning called chalulo it don't know if u have heard of it or is the marinade enough seasoning

[cookingmexicanrecipe]

@brittneydargusch21 Adding mushrooms would be great to add. I am not familiar with the seasoning called chalulo so I cannot say.

I think a normal skillet will work but cast iron is the best.

[brittneydargusch21]

What if I don't have a cast iron skillet will it work in a normal skillet
