TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN
Steps:
- Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

MARGARITA FAJITAS CHICKEN
This recipe was inspired by a meal I had at a local restaurant. The marinade is also great if you want to leave the chicken breasts whole and grill out in the summer. Of course, a good margarita or sangria are my beverages of choice with this dish.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
- Add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- (Overnight works best, if possible) Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
- When thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
- Add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
- Heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
- If you don't have a tortilla warmer, I've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
- Place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
- Top as desired with remaining ingredients.
- It's kinda fun to let people create their own.

TEQUILA CHICKEN FAJITAS
Fajitas are such a great food - they just scream summertime. This is great because you don't need a grill, and you can make it indoors, even if it's not summertime. I got this recipe from the Juan-Carlos Cruz Calorie Countdown Cookbook, and I wanted to save it before I have to return the book to the library! The original recipe says it serves 4. I don't know about you, but I think that would be, like, a kid serving size. Note: Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts in a heavy-duty resealable bag.Mix together the tequila, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, chili powder, salt, pepper, and garlic in a bowl. Pour into the bag with the chicken, and place into the refrigerator for 45 minutes or longer (I would probably do it several hours).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the canola oil. Saute the bell peppers and onion until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Cook the chicken in the same pan in which you cooked the vegetables for about 6 minutes, or until there is no pink left.
- Return the onions and bell peppers to the pan and heat through for about one minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the tortillas and place on plates. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
- Variations:
- Tequila Steak Fajitas: Substitute 3/4 pound flank steak for the chicken breasts.
- Tequila Shrimp Fajitas: Substitute 3/4 pound shrimp for the chicken. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes, or just until pink.
