| **Update -we tried it and did not love it, we did not think it had enough flavor INGREDIENTS: 1/4 cup each lime and orange juices 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried minced onions 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro leaves 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips* 1 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into thin strips 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 8 flour tortillas (8-inch) DIRECTIONS: Mix juices, oil, all of the spices and salt in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. Cook and stir chicken in large heated skillet on medium-high heat 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet. Add bell pepper, onion and reserved marinade; cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Spoon chicken mixture into warmed tortillas. Serve with assorted toppings, if desired. * I opted to grill my chicken first before cutting into strips – it's up to you. |

We tried it tonight, and the Mitchells are in agreement - this is an okay recipe, but not the best for fajitas.
