Mojito Marinated Fajitas

Oops - forgot to take a picture of the "finished product" for this one!


Marinade Ingredients
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup rum
1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar


"Filling" Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1/2 sliced red bell pepper
1/2 sliced yellow bell pepper
1/2 sliced onion
1 diced jalepeno
4 whole wheat flour tortillas
Other toppings as desired (ie: salsa, sour cream..)

1. Combine the lime juice, rum, mint, olive oil, salt, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.


2. Place marinade and chicken in a sealed container or ziplock to marinate.


Note: The recipe only says you need to marinate the chicken for an hour, but I prepared the chicken the night before so dinner wouldn't be ready super late, so mine marinated for a whole day in the fridge and it was great that way! :)


3. Preheat the oven to either bake or broil the chicken (we chose to bake at 350, since it had been marinating for so long, the chicken came out very tender).


4. While the chicken is cooking, saute the bell peppers, onion, and jalepeno over medium heat until just tender.

5. Cut the cooked chicken into strips and then build your fajitas! :)
