Ingredients
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced into strips 2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced into strips 2 orange or green bell peppers, seeded and sliced into strips 2 large onions (I prefer sweet onions), sliced 5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Homemade fajita seasoning, divided (see recipe below) 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice 2 lbs fresh organic chicken tenders 8 corn tostadas Garnish: sour cream, your favorite salsa, and sliced fresh avocado For the fajita seasoning: 2 Tbsp cornstarch 4 tsp chili powder 2 tsp sea salt 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp sugar 2 chicken boullion cubes, crushed 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp cumin
How to make it
For the fajita seasoning: Whisk all ingredients together and divide in half for the recipe. Heat grill and set to medium-high temperature. Chop your peppers and onion and set aside in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice and half of the fajita seasoning to veggie mixture. In a separate bowl, mix together chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice and remaining fajita seasoning. Toss well to coat. Grill mixture separately in a grill pan. Chicken takes about 4-5 minutes per side and pepper mixture takes a few minutes longer. Grill until peppers and onions are softened, stirring a few times while cooking. To serve, top a corn tostada with peppers and onions, chicken, sour cream, salsa and fresh avocado.
