4 chicken breasts; skinned, & boned
1 lime; juice only
2 cl garlic; crushed
1 black pepper; to taste
1/2 ts cumin
3 scallions; chopped
1 md red bell pepper
1 md yellow bell pepper
1 md green bell pepper
8 whole-wheat tortillas
1 tb vegetable oil
1 tb water
2 ts to 3 tsp jalapeno peppers; chopped fine
1 salt; to taste
1 fresh cilantro; chopped, to taste
1 md tomato; diced
1 salsa; to taste
Slice the chicken into chunks about 1/2 inch square.
Place them in a large bowl. Squeeze the lime juice
over chicken. Add the garlic, scallions, black pepper,
and cumin, and toss to mix.
Slice the bell peppers into strips and set aside.
Wrap the tortillas in a thin, clean dishcloth, place
them on an ovenproof plate, and put the plate in the
oven. Warm the tortillas at the lowest setting on
your oven while preparing the fajita mixture. Heat
the oil and water in a large saucepan over medium
heat and add the chicken, bell peppers, and jalapeno
peppers. Add the greater amount of jalapeno if you
like your food very spicy. Saute, stirring frequently,
until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through,
about 25 minutes. Add salt to taste. Spread a
spoonful of the fajita mixture in a thick line in
the middle of each tortilla. Top with cilantro,
tomato, and salsa to taste. Roll up the tortillas
and serve. Makes 4 servings of 2 fajitas each.
