Chicken Fajitas

I’m not sure if these are technically fajitas or not, but they’re damn good regardless. (serves 2)

  1. Start out by making your sauce/marinade. I don’t exactly remember the ingredients I used, but it was something along the lines of:
    * 1 cup ketchup
    * ground cumin
    * garlic powder
    * fresh cracked pepper
    * ancho chilli powder
    * ginger powder
    * dash of sriracha
    * a little chicken stock to thin out the ketchup
    * probably a few other items that I’m forgetting, just remember to keep tasting until you get something you like
  2.  Cut up two chicken breasts into strips. Place in a large resealable freezer bag.
  3. Add half the marinade to the chicken and coat chicken.
  4. Place marinade and chicken into fridge for 3 or 4 hours to allow chicken time to pick up the flavour of the marinade.
  5. 3 hours later…Cut up some vegetables e.g. peppers and onions into similar sized pieces and toss with the reserved marinade.
  6. Fire up your grill to ~450F and get yourself a fairly large aluminum pan.
  7. Toss the vegetables into the pan.
  8. Remove the chicken from the marinade and toss the bag and marinade away.
  9. Grill chicken and vegetables until cooked.
  10. Toss a few tortillas on the grill heat them up (only a minute or so).
  11. Throw some vegetables and a couple pieces of chicken on a tortilla along with your favourite toppings e.g. rice, cheese, sour cream, etc.
