Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup lime juice
1 cup tequila
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
10 flour tortillas
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large bell pepper (cut into strips)
1 large onion , large (cut into strips)
1 large tomato, large (cut into chunks )

Directions:

In a glass bowl or baking dish, combine 1/2 cup oil, lime juice, tequila, tomato paste, garlic, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, and cumin. Blend well. Add chicken, cover, and marinate in refrigerator at least 6 hours or overnight.
Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes while preparing fajitas.
Remove chicken from marinade. In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Add chicken and cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is done. Add bell pepper and onion and cook 3 minutes more along with tomatoes, just until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Serve with tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and grated cheese.
