Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup Tenayo Poblano Barbecue Sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup Tenayo Poblano Barbecue Sauce, olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. 
  5. Once the peppers are done, slice the chicken into strips and warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  6. Place the cooked peppers on a serving platter. Top with the sliced chicken and a drizzle of Tenayo Poblano Barbecue Sauce. Serve with lime wedges and warm tortillas and enjoy!
