Chicken Fajitas image

Mojo de ajo is Spanish for "garlic sauce." In addition to flavoring the fajitas, the mojo can be made separately from this recipe and put to use in other crowd-pleasing dishes: Toss a few spoonfuls with grilled shrimp or drizzle it over baked snapper for another tasty dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 6 cloves)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 large white onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 1 cup)
1 large green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (1 small whole), sliced 1/2 inch thick
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2), sliced 1/2 inch thick
8 small flour tortillas (about 6 inches), warmed (instructions follow)
Guacamole for Nachos, for serving
Pico de Gallo, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Shredded mild cheddar cheese, preferably longhorn, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the mojo de ajo: Cook oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until garlic is soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice, red-pepper flakes, and salt.
  • Make the fajitas: Heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat. Add oil, and gently swirl to coat. Add onion and bell pepper, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is browned in spots, and pepper has softened slightly and skin is blistered, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mojo de ajo, and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the veggies were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of fajitas, but this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I think the lime crema was a bit too tangy for my taste, but that's just personal preference.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time. Other than that, the recipe was great. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the veggies were cooked perfectly.
