JOHNSON FAMILY’S FAVORITE FAJITAS
FAJITA BLEND INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless free-range organic chicken breasts
- Real Salt
- 2 tbsp. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- 1 large onion, sliced lengthwise into strips
- 3 bell peppers of various colors, sliced into strips
MARINADE
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice or 1 drop Lime Vitality Oil
- 3 tbsp. Organic EVOO
- 1 Organic Garlic Clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp. Real Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
- 1/2 Jalapeño or Pablano Pepper, seeded + minced
- 1/4 c. Cilantro, chopped, or 1 drop of Cilantro Vitality Oil
SERVE WITH:
- 8 to 12 tortillas (homemade is best or use your favorite clean brand)
- Shredded Cheese
- Salsa
- Sliced Avocado or Guacamole
- Plain Greek Yogurt (in place of sour cream)
- Romaine Lettuce or Spinach
DIRECTIONS:
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a glass bowl. Add chicken and mix well. Cover and marinate at room temp. for 30 minutes if short on time. We prefer to marinate for up to 8 hours in the fridge for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Grill the chicken. Once cooked, remove from grill and stack them on a plate. Let them rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
- While chicken is grilling, cook the onions and peppers. Add a Tbsp. of EVOO to a cast iron pan on high heat. Once hot, add the onions and peppers to the pan. Use a wooden spatula and stir to coat the onions and peppers before spreading in an even layer in the pan. Let cook, undisturbed, 2 min. Stir and continue cooking until softened and blackened somewhat.
- Once your veggies are cooked and chicken has rested, slice the chicken into strips.
- Serve with the peppers + onions, warm tortillas, and sides of shredded cheese, lettuce/spinach, greek yogurt, salsa, and avocado or guacamole.
- Enjoy!
