These tasty fajitas begin with grilled chicken topped with peppers and onions and covered in a zesty, creamy sauce. Get a can of chipotle chilis in adobo sauce. The smokey flavor is unique and they keep well in a sealed container in the fridge. Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about one large lime) |
1/4 cup salsa verde |
