Chicken Fajita (recipe) dinner and winner of the Le Creuset giveaway

Mexican, Cuban, and Peruvian foods are some of my most missed foods when I’m outside the US.  The quest for a good Mexican restaurant is especially difficult though my friend has said there’s a good one in Singapore…*fingers crossed*

Anyway, Mrs. Smith has a great series of recipes every week and I was totally intrigued by her mom’s chicken/beef fajitas recipe.   I always knew Italian dressing was a winning marinade, but beer?  I’m totally intrigued and trying this soon (why yes I brought tortillas from London too)!  I copied and pasted it below for your reference.

Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients: The Marinade

• 1 bottle Zesty Italian Dressing
• 1 12oz beer (A heavier one will add more flavor than a light.)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp cilantro
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken cut into 2″-3″ strips, 1/2″ wide
• 1 yellow or purple onion, cut into 1/4″ strips
• 1 red pepper, cut into 1/4″ strips

Preparation:

1. Cut the chicken into your desired size of strips. Marine meat in the marinade for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
2. Cut the onion and peppers into strips. Remove marinating meat from refrigerator, and add the onions and peppers and mix well. Let marinate at room for 1 hour.
3. Cook the mix together on the grill in a grill basket or wrapped in foil. If grilling’s not an option (or it’s cold out), you can also cook it inside in a large skillet.4. When the meat is done, everyone make their own fajitas and enjoy!
