Chicken Fajita Toss

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Serving Size: 1/4 of total recipe

 

Gather

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips 2 bell peppers (whatever color you fancy), julienned 1 yellow onion, sliced 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 lime, juiced big handful cilantro

Step by step

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet (I used cast iron and it worked beautifully).
  2. Mix the chili powder, cumin and garlic powder and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Add the chicken strips to the bowl of spices and toss to coat.
  4. Throw the chicken into the hot skillet and coo****il nearly done - about five minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  6. Add the rest of the olive oil to the hot pan and lowe the heat a bit.
  7. Throw in the onions and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften and caramelize. The longer you let them caramelize, the yummier this dish gets!
  8. Add the peppers and cook a few more minutes, stirring often.
  9. Put the chicken back in with the peppers and onions and toss.
  10. Drizzle the lime juice into the pan and cook a few more minutes, scraping the bottom to make sure you get all the yummy brown bits.
  11. Transfer to serving dish (or leave it in the pan, I don't judge) and sprinkle with cilantro.
  12. Serve with warm tortillas, brown rice or all by its lonesome.

Topic: Mexican Quinoa

Thanks to Cooking

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked Quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups black beans
  • 1 cup corn, thawed
  • 1 tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 red onion, slivered
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño, diced
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 - 1 chipotle chilli in adobo sauce (The dish will be HOT if you use 1)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 avocado, diced
  •  
  •  

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked Quinoa, black beans, corn, tomato, red onion and pickled jalapeño.
  3. Slice corn tortillas into thin strips.
  4. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and add tortilla strips.
  5. Spray again.
  6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minute, until crispy. (Check often to make sure the tortillas don't burn - I was using homemade tortillas, and they took closer to 15 minutes. I'm guessing store bought may not take as long.)
  8. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine lime juice, chipotle Chile, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, honey or agave nectar, cumin and sea salt.
  9. Process until mixture is smooth.
  10. Toss with Quinoa mixture.
  11. Plate Quinoa and top with avocado and tortilla strips. (If making ahead, wait to put avocado and tortilla strips on at the last minute.
  12. Store leftover tortilla strips in an air tight bag, and return to oven to crisp if desired prior to serving.)

Topic: RE: Spinach Ricotta Bake

just go by the weight of frozen spinach or about 3/4 cup cooked.  I buy them in bags of pre-chopped spinach shaped into nuggets so they are easily portioned out.
