MESQUITE CHICKEN AND BACON FAJITAS
I had some fajitas once at a chain restaurant....Chilis or Applebees I think....that had bacon and mushrooms. It was an unexpected twist. I used that idea as an inspiration for this recipe where I used a bottled Mesquite Marinade (because I can't seem to create one I like), chicken, portabello mushroom strips, bacon, and a nice sauce. I've served it several times (although not in a few years) and it is a hit every time. Let me know how you like it!

- Place chicken in a plastic re-sealable bag and peppers, onion, and mushrooms in a separate bag. Pour about 2/3 of the bottled marinade in the chicken bag and the other 1/3 in the vegetable bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- In the meantime, make the sauce by whisking together all of the sauce ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken and vegetables from the marinating bags. Grill Chicken until cooked, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Grill vegetables until crisp and tender.
- Slice chicken and vegetables into 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices.
- Arrange on a serving platter with ramekin of sauce, sour cream, and cheese. Sprinkle bacon chunks on top. Serve with your favorite warmed tortillas and bean side dish recipe.

Steps:
- For the marinade: In a blender, combine the olive oil, chili powder, Worcestershire, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice. Next add the sugar, salt and pepper and blend the marinade until it's totally combined and smooth.
- For the meat: Place the chicken and beef in separate 2-quart baking dishes or large resealable plastic storage bags. Pour the marinade over the chicken and beef and rub the marinade all over the meat. Give your hands a good wash, and then cover the dishes with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
- For the pico de gallo: Chop the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion into a very small dice. (Leave the seeds in your jalapenos for a hotter pico. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your preferred temperature.) Next, chop up a nice-sized bunch of cilantro. Just remove and discard the long leafless stems before chopping. No need to remove the leaves from the stems completely. Place all of these ingredients together in a bowl and give it a good stir. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the bowl. Add salt to taste and stir again.
- For the fajita vegetables: Throw the onions and bell peppers into a bowl and toss with the olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill to high heat.
- Cook the chicken on both sides until completely cooked through (or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Grill the beef on both sides until completely cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. Remove it to a platter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Tip the fajita vegetables into a grill basket and grill until cooked, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- To put it all together: Pile the veggies on a platter. Slice the chicken and beef.
- For the fixins: Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm through on the grill. Serve the chicken, beef and veggies with the warm tortillas, Fiesta Beans, grated cheese, sour cream, lime wedges and pico de gallo.
- Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside and let them soak for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
- Drain and rinse the beans, and then place them in a large pot. Add the garlic, green, orange and red bell peppers and the onions. Cover them with about an inch of water, and then add the ham hock or bacon. Next add the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans until tender, about 2 hours. Check the liquid level about halfway through the cooking process; if you'd prefer the beans to be less soupy, you can ladle off about a third of the cooking liquid.
CHICKEN AND BACON FAJITAS
This is a colorful and flavorful fajita filling served in hot, fresh flour tortillas. Absolutely delicious! And for those who are watching their carbs, it is just as good eaten with a fork without the tortillas!
