¡Feliz Cinco De Mayo!
I don’t know about you but I’m a huge fan of Tex-Mex food! I haven’t gotten the chance to visit Mexico yet, but I’ve had Mexican friends cook authentic for me so I know the difference between the two.
In spirit of today’s celebrations, I’ll share my favorite fajitas de pollo recipe:
Ingredients:
1lbs chicken breast (skinless)
For the chicken marinate (2-24h prior to cooking):
2 ts fresh lemon juice + virgin oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 ts: salt, black pepper, ground cumin, chilly powder and sliced jalapeño, chopped cilantro
Other ingredients:
2-3 green + red peppers (long cut)
2 onions (sliced)
4-6 tortillas (I prefer whole grain)
Directions:
Cut the chicken in strips and place it in marinate, refrigerating for 2 to 24 h prior to cooking.
Place the chicken and left over marinate in a medium sized frypan set on medium heat. When the meat whitens, add the veggies into the mix.
Keep an eye on it, stirring every 2-3 minutes for about half an hour.
Eventually, your food should start looking something like this:
Warm up your tortillas, crack open a Corona and kick back!
When you think about it, someone being able to make chicken fajitas is a pretty impressive thing. As you see it’s not hard at all!
¡Salud!
