Grilled Chicken Fajitas #Recipe @PegCochran

We love anything with Mexican or Tex-Mex flavoring.  Who doesn't?  And this recipe is fast, easy and actually healthy because you load up on vegetables and lean chicken.  The recipe comes from Laura Greutman and it was posted on AllRecipes.  I'm giving the original ingredients which serve 6.  I scaled it back for the two of us.

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 - 2 red, orange or yellow peppers or a combination
1.5 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. blackpepper
1 tsp. salt or to taste
2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 - 2 tsp. lime juice (or more to taste)
tortillas

Preheat grill to 400 - 450 degrees

Either slice the breasts in half horizontally or pound to a thickness of half an inch.

Combine all spices in a bowl and mix well.  Add the lime juice and a tablespoon of olive oil.  Rub mixture into chicken.

Thinly slice peppers and onion and toss with 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil.  Add to a grill tray and grill until soft and slightly charred.

Grill chicken 3 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.  Let rest for five minutes, then slice into strips.

Grill tortillas for a few minutes while chicken is resting.

Serve fajitas with your favorite toppings--sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, etc.

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.

Manhattan, 1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .
