Grilled Tequila-Lime Chicken Fajitas image

This is one of our favorite summertime meals. Marinated chicken and veggies are cooked on the grill and served in a gordita-size tortilla with some sour cream, Cheddar cheese, and some wild rice on the side. We usually use the bottle marinade from the store.

Time 9h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (12 ounce) bottle tequila-lime marinade, divided
1 onion, cut into large chunks
1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into large chunks

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag; douse with 3/4 cups marinade. Refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Combine the remaining 3/4 cups marinade, onion, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in another resealable plastic bag. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Thread the onions, mushrooms, red bell peppers, and green bell peppers onto skewers. Place on the grill; cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Place chicken breasts onto the grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Slice cooked chicken; serve alongside skewers.

These fajitas are the best! I love the flavor of the marinade and the chicken is always so tender and juicy. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

This chicken fajitas recipe is a keeper! The marinade is flavorful and the chicken comes out so tender and juicy. I grilled the chicken and veggies on my outdoor grill, but you could also do this in a grill pan on the stovetop.
