Chicken & Vegetable Fajitas

8 whole wheat tortillas

1 onion, julienned

2 red peppers, julienned

1 pt grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly

1 tbsp canola oil

¼ cup water

For the spice rub:

1 tbsp canola oil

½ lime, zested

1 lime, juiced

1 garlic clove, grated

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

Toppings:

½ cup plain greek yogurt

½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese

½ cup salsa or picante sauce

Combine all of the spice rub ingredients in a gallon ziplock bag.

Add sliced chicken to the bag and massage to coat chicken pieces evenly.

Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over high heat.

When oil is heated, add chicken and spread in a single layer and let sit for 3-4 minutes to sear until dark brown on the edges. Flip, then repeat until there is no pink left (internal temperature of 165 degrees). Remove to a clean bowl and set aside.

Add ¼ cup of water to the empty pan and deglaze, scraping brown bits from edges. (You can add 2 more tablespoons, if you need it.)

Add veggies to pan and spread into a single layer. Allow to sear until edges turn brown. Flip veggies and brown on the other side until tender.

Serve: Place one tortilla on each plate. Divide chicken and veggies evenly among 8 tortillas. Top with 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 tablespoon salsa and 1 tablespoon shredded cheese.

Enjoy!
