Marinade:
1/4 Cup Lime Juice (from fresh limes is best!)
1/3 Cup Water
2 T Canola or Vegetable Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
3 tsp Vinegar
2 tsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke (found in the BBQ section- I omitted this)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (I omitted because I had none on hand)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion
Mix all the ingredients together and place in a bag, place chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit in fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably longer. Reserve a little marinade in a separate container to splash on to peppers and onions while cooking.
You will also need:
A few chicken breasts (depends on how many people you are serving)
Peppers ( I used Red and Yellow Bell)
Onion
Tortillas
Toppings of Choice (sour cream, cheese, lettuce)
Once you are ready to start cooking, Heat a grill or skillet and then cook chicken until done, cut into strips. Coat peppers and onions with EVOO and leftover marinade (if you have any) and grill for a few minutes until lightly charred. Heat tortillas on the grill or in the microwave and enjoy!
