Shelly's Chicken Fajitas

Mom here. Shelly made these fajitas last time I visited. They are so good and very easy. I made them for the missionaries, and they loved them, too. Shelly cuts her chicken up before marinating it, and that's the way I did it too. Easy, tasty, healthy--I rate them a 5/5.

INGREDIENTS

Marinade:
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 3-4 limes) (I often just use bottled lime juice)
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons apple cider or red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• ½ teaspoons chili powder
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Fajitas:
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (about 3 large chicken breasts)
• 1 yellow onion, cut into thin strips
• 1 green pepper, cut into thin strips
• 1 red (or orange) pepper, cut into thin strips
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons water
• ½ teaspoon fresh lime juice (a quick squeeze of a cut lime)(again I sometimes use bottled)
• dash of salt and pepper
• Soft-shell tacos, warmed. I used the raw ones from Costco and cooked them on a grill. They were delicious.

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade ingredients over the top. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator and let marinate for 2-3 hours.
2. After marinating, take chicken out of the bag and discard the marinade. Grill or broil the chicken 5-7 minutes per side . Remove from grill or pan and tent with foil to keep warm.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat and add the onion, mushrooms and peppers. Stir fry until softened but still crisp tender. Add soy sauce, water, lime juice and salt and pepper. Cook another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Slice chicken thinly on the diagonal and toss with the vegetables in the skillet. Serve immediately with flour tortillas and top with tomatoes, lettuce, guacamole, cheese, sour cream…the options are endless!
