CHIPOTLE CHICKEN FAJITAS
I've had this fajita recipe for three years and my husband and I just love it. Be careful with the chipotle peppers as they can be very hot. I changed it up a little to fit our taste. You may want to adjust the amount to your preference. -Melissa Thomeczek, Hannibal, Missouri

GRILLED CHIPOTLE CHICKEN FAJITAS W/COOL LIME SAUCE
I love fajitas tacos and was thinking about what could I put on a spicy smoky chipotle chicken fajita and then it hit me... a cool lime sauce with sour cream, yogurt, a little lime and sugar. Well, it turned out to be a great contrast to the spicy fajita and really did helps cool it down; however, this is a "spicy hot" one. Make sure you got a nice tall glass of drink before you get started. Love all the flavors this taco brings and I was pleased with the sauce that is tangy and sweet.

Steps:
- Prepare your marinade for chicken and then place chicken in the marinade and cover with a lid; then refrigerate for at least an hour. We usually marinate for 4 to 6 hrs. Cook up 4 - 8 slices of crisp bacon. Set aside.
- Prepare you lime sauce. Mix all the ingredients together.
- Remove your fajitas from refrigerator. Drain and then place chicken in a bowl with the mixed chipotle sauce, cumin, coriander and salt. Coat the chicken as best as possible. Now, grill your chicken. If sliced fairly thin it should only take 6-8 minutes for chicken to be done. (Don't overcook or they will be dry.)
- Assemble as you wish.
- This is the tortilla shells that I used and they are high in fiber and low carb and still very tasty. Got them at WalMart's.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN FAJITAS
I got this out of a taste of home cookbook and it really is delicious. You can make it as spicy as you'd like and it won't effect the recipe. I didn't have any chipotle peppers so I used jalapenos and they worked just as well.

- MARINADE: In a large freezer bag, whisk together all of the Chicken Fajita Marinade ingredients. Remove 2 tablespoons to use later for vegetables. Add chicken to freezer bag and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours up to overnight (longer the better).

Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 2-4 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing across the grain into strips.
- VEGETABLES: Meanwhile, Add 1 tablespoon oil to the leftover juices in the skillet along with reserved 2 tablespoons marinade. Heat over medium high heat. Add onions and saute 1 minute. Add bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add sliced chicken and toss to coat.
