Chicken Fajitas with Lime


This was a really good fajita marinade recipe and I don't want to lose it. I love lime so this was perfect.


1 clove garlic minced
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbl. olive oil
juice from 1 lime (+ another half for during cooking)
about 1-2 tsp. sugar (optional)
about 1 tsp vinegar (optional)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
2 bell peppers (green, red or orange)
1 onion

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in chicken to coat. Marinate in the fridge for a few hours.

Cook chicken and marinade in a skillet with a little olive oil. Remove. Cook onions and peppers in some of the marinade left in the pan. Add extra lemon squeeze to the veggies if desired. Add chicken and heat through again.

Serve with tortillas, cheese and sour cream.
