- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, 1/2 inch diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 inch diced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, 1/2 inch diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup broccoli, slaw cut to 1/2 inch lengths (fresh broccoli stem, julienned, available in stores or make your own)
- 1 cup cooked canned black beans, drained (for fewer carbs, use black soy beans)
- 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin, to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled,seeded,and 1/2 inch diced
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 -6 large flour tortillas (10 inch or larger)
- grated cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese, for garnish (optional)
Recipe
- 1 combine the vinegar, lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, and minced garlic in a ziplock bag or non-reactive bowl.
- 2 add cubed chicken breast and let marinate in refrigerator for an hour or two.
- 3 in a large skillet, melt remaining olive oil and butter together.
- 4 remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
- 5 stirring occasionally, sauté the chicken, onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli slaw pieces over medium-high until chicken is cooked completely and the veggies are to the desired texture (some people prefer them crisp and some like them softer), which will take about 7 to 10 or so minutes.
- 6 reduce heat, add in the remaining ingredients except the avocado, sour cream, and flour tortillas and simmer on medium-low for another 5 minutes.
- 7 stir in the avocado and sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- 8 if you're taking these to a picnic, put the fajita mix into a thermal container to keep it warm; on site give each person a tortilla and pass around the filling.
- 9 if you're eating them at home, fill the tortillas with the mixture, garnish with grated cheese, and enjoy!
- 10 makes 4 to 6 servings, depending on how hungry you are; you can also use smaller tortillas and an additional chicken breast to get more servings, if you like.
- 11 you can, of course, use more or less of any of the veggies to get a mixture that*you* enjoy!
