EZ Chicken Fajita Dinner

Servings: 2-4
Prep: 20
Cook: 30

Ingredients 
2 Chicken breasts (butterflied)
1 can of black beans
1 green pepper
1 onion
Chipotle chili powder
Oregano
Splash of red wine vinegar 
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Lime or lime juice
Hot/taco sauce
Flour tortillas

Steps:
1. Prepare the chicken; once butterflied, cut in half. You will have a total of 4 thin chicken cutlets.
2. Season the cutlets with the chipotle chili powder and the fiery 5 pepper seasoning on both sides and set aside. *If you are sensitive to the heat, take it easy on the chipotle.
3. Cut the onion and green pepper into thin strips.
4. Heat two pans with oil (I used coconut oil) on a medium to medium-low heat.
5. In the smaller pan, saute onion and green pepper for about 10-15 minutes, until the onion is translucent and green pepper cooked to your liking. Add a splash of Dale's during the last few minutes.
6. Add the chicken to the larger pan, flipping after about 5 minutes. Cook thoroughly.
7. Heat up the tortillas; stove-top or microwave (covered with a wet paper towel).
8. Prepare your toppings: cheese, sour cream, lime wedges, hot sauce, salsa, and anything else you like.
9. Finally cut the chicken into thin strips and you're ready to start building these amazing little fajitas!

Fiery deliciousness.

Greg's Fajitarritos

Fajita + Burrito = Fajitarrito



Greg, the roommate, has introduced our household to this phenomenon. This is definitely a house fave! FILLING, DELICIOUS, & just so darn awesome! Thank you Greg for making these :)

List of ingredients:
chicken breasts (2 lb)
black beans- 2 cans
yellow rice
honey
salt/pepper
ground red pepper/paprika
peppers (multi colored, 3-4)
large onion
peach or mango salsa
regular salsa (your favorite)
flour tortillas (large burrito size)

toppings (optional, choose to your liking):
shredded cheese
sour cream
jalapenos
hot sauce

Now the steps:
1. wash and trip the chicken breasts
2. Cover with honey, salt, pepper, and ground pepper seasoning; cover and let stand for about 30-60 min
3. Pan sear the breasts on medium high, until the honey and spices have nicely browned onto the chicken


4. Remove chicken and slice (notice the chicken is not fully cooked)

5. Chop the peppers and onions (slice or bite sized)
6. Toss into the same pan and cover with a jar of peach salsa


7. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently
8. Add chicken and mix well


9. You may add more salsa at this point
10. Cover and simmer until chicken is fully cooked


MEANWHILE....
1. Your rice is on the stove with a timer ON
2. Melt some butter and cook two cans of black beans

Now a demonstration of how to assemble the Fajitarrito:
Throw some cheese onto a warm tortilla
 Then beans
 and rice...
 now chicken!
Top off with cheese, sour cream, hot sauce/taco sauce, and whatever else your heart desires!


YUM.
