Ingredients
2 whole skinless chicken breasts (or I like to mix in some skinless thighs, too)4 medium bell peppers2 large onionsjuice of 5 limesjuice of 1 orange1 bunch cilantro, chopped2 jalapenos, sliced1 Tbs black pepper1 Tbs chili powder3 cloves garlic, mincedflour tortillas (I count 2 per person)sour cream (1-2 Tbs per person)
Juice the limes and orange into a shallow container large enough to hold all the chicken. Add the jalapenos, cilantro, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic. Mix, and set aside about 1/2 cup to be used for basting later.
Trim fat from chicken, but don't cut. Add chicken to marinade, let sit in fridge for 30 minutes, occasionally tossing to coat. (If you want to marinate longer to save last minute prep time, just add a whole diced onion to the mixture to keep the chicken from getting tough.)
Cut veggies into large slices (for easy grilling).
Cook chicken and veggies on the grill, basting veggies occasionally with reserved marinade. When done, slice chicken and veggies into fajita-size strips and serve!.
