These chicken fajitas get their flavor from a homemade marinade featuring dark Mexican beer, soy sauce, lime juice, oil, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. They can be prepared on the stovetop with a grill pan as directed, or outside over a charcoal or gas grill. Ingredients:
3/4 cup dark mexican beer |
2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut across grain into 1/2-inch-thick strips |
1 cup sliced onion |
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced |
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced |
cooking spray |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas |
1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced |
salsa (optional) |
reduced-fat sour cream (optional) |
fresh cilantro leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients, stirring well. Place chicken in a zip-top plastic bag. Add 3/4 cup beer mixture to bag; seal. Reserve remaining beer mixture. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Combine onion, bell peppers, and remaining beer mixture in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and black pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook for 2 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Remove onion and bell peppers from bag, and discard marinade. Add onion mixture to pan; cook for 6 minutes or until tender, turning after 3 minutes. Toast tortillas in pan, if desired.
