1

In a small bowl, mix all marinade ingredients together; set aside.

2

Place chicken in 13x9-inch pyrex pan and coat with marinade. Set aside.

3

Heat two pans: a nonstick griddle to high (or skillet), and a nonstick frying pan to medium-high. Drizzle frying pan with oil. Cook onions, peppers and chiles, stirring occasionally, until they darken around the edges, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn off heat.

Place chicken onto the very hot griddle pan. Sear for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat to cutting board. Slice very thin, on the bias, and return strips to grilled to brown and cook through.

Heat tortillas according to package directions. Fill with sizzling meat or chicken, vegetable mixture and a spoonful of salsa.

 

Servings: 4
