INGREDIENTS

  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
  • 1 fluid ounce Fresh Lime Juice
  • 12 ounce raw (yield after cooking, bone removed) Chicken Breast
  • 5 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 fluid ounce (no ice) Tequila
  • 1/8 cup Cilantro (Coriander)
  • 2 cloves Garlic

  • 1 medium (approx 2-3/4" long, 2-1/2" diameter) Green Sweet Pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Zest and juice the lime.  Place chicken, 1/4 cup of the oil, lime juice, tequila, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt and pepper in a plastic bag and marinate, refrigerated, 4 hours or overnight.

  3. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook sliced onion 3 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add pepper strips and cook 2 minutes, until crisp-tender.  Transfer vegetables to a bowl.
  5. Add chicken to skillet and cook about 5 minutes per side, until cooked through (add more oil if necessary).  Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Stir in vegetables and diced tomato.  Cook, stirring, 2 minutes more.  Stir in remaining cilantro.
  7. To serve, spoon chicken mixture onto tortillas and top with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
