Ingredients
 

Marinade:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 3 limes, juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar monkfruit, regular if not keto
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Fajitas:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups, sliced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 cup white onion, sliced
  • 6-10 tortillas, corn, flour or low carb

Instructions
 

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside for later.
  • Pour the rest of the marinade into a large plastic bag, add the chicken and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Heat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350 degrees F.
  • Prep the fajita vegetables by combining the sliced peppers, onions in a bowl. Toss or spray with a small about of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill the chicken 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and juicy. Set chicken aside on a serving tray.
  • Use a grill pan or make a small tray using aluminum foil and place on the grill. Add your veggies. Grill 4-6 minutes until lightly charred.
  • Remove vegetables from the grill and add to serving tray. Drizzle the chicken and veggies with the reserved tablespoons of marinade.
  • Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite Mexican garnishes.

Notes

I always recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is completely cooked through. Cooking times listed may vary depending on the thickness of your meat.
