BAKED CHICKEN FAJITA ROLL-UPS RECIPE

Baked Chicken Fajita Roll-Ups Recipe image

Provided by á-64866

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

For the Marinade:
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of half a lime
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
For the Chicken:
3 chicken breasts or 6 thin sliced chicken cutlets 1/4-inch thick
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
strips of onion
cheddar cheese
salsa

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, cayenne (if using) and cilantro. Set aside. For the chicken breasts, if you purchased pre-sliced chicken cutlets then skip to the next step. If using chicken breasts, slice them longways into 2 even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about ¼ inch. Place chicken cutlets into a large resealable freezer bag and pour marinade over top, making sure they are completely coated. Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight. Saute the pepper and onion strips until they begin to soften. Season lightly with cumin, salt and pepper. Once chicken has marinated, season both sides with salt and pepper, evenly place bell pepper and onion slices in the middle of the chicken cutlet, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish. Brush tops of chicken with remaining marinade, top with grated cheddar cheese, and bake, uncovered, at 375 for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear. Serve with salsa on the side and enjoy!

Tips:

Use a large skillet or griddle: This will allow you to cook all of the fajita ingredients at once.
Slice the chicken thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
Marinate the chicken: This will help to flavor and tenderize it.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to your fajitas.
Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want them to be too soft or mushy.
Use fresh tortillas: This will give your fajitas the best flavor and texture.
Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: This could include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
