Chicken Fajitas

A fajita is a term found in Tex-Mex cuisine, commonly referring to any grilled meat usually served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla. The term originally referred to the cut of beef used in the dish which is known as skirt steak. Popular meats today also include chicken, pork, shrimp, lamb, salmon, and all other cuts of beef, as well as vegetables instead of meat. In restaurants, the meat is usually cooked with onions and bell peppers. Popular condiments are shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. The northern Mexican variant of the dish name is Arrachera.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

• 1 garlic clove minced

• 1/2 cup minced onion

• 1 tbsp cilantro

• 2 tbsp canola oil

• 2 tbsp BrewSpice © IPA

1) Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, honey, jalapeno pepper, garlic and BrewSpice © IPA together in another bowl until marinade is smooth. Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours to overnight, turning occasionally.

2) Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes.

3) Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in tomato, minced onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce until guacamole is well-combined.

4) Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

5) Cook chicken on preheated grill, basting with marinade and turning often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to rest, about 5 minutes. Slice chicken across the grain into thin strips.
