Time 2h14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 36

2 cups water
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1 tablespoon ground chipotle chile pepper
2 teaspoons hickory liquid smoke
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced onions
2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon canned green chili pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch dried dill weed
1 pinch cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Note: (A maximum of 2 hour) marinating required, so allow for time.
  • Comgine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Add four chicken breasts to the marinade, cover and chill for 2 hours. Don't let the chicken marinate for much more than that or it could get tough.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the dipping sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well then cover and chill. This will allow all the flavors to develop.
  • Combine pico de gallo ingredients; cover and chill.
  • To complete the fajita rollups, preheat grill to medium/high heat. Grill the chicken breast for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until done.
  • Build each roll-up by first laying a large flour tortilla in a large skillet over low-heat. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the combined cheeses over the surface of the tortilla while it heats up in the pan. When the cheese begins to melt, remove the tortilla from the pan. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded lettuce in a strip across the center of the tortilla, followed by about 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo. Slice one grilled chicken breast into bite-size chunks and arrange the chicken on the lettuce. Fold the ends of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom. Make a diagonal cut across the center of the roll-up and serve with a small dish of the Mexi-Ranch dipping sauce on the side.

Provided by á-64866

Number Of Ingredients 18

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!
