Emily especially enjoys entertaining in the summer, which is why I like to keep the menu simple, yet delicious – so we can spend more time with our guests and less time in the kitchen.
This recipe is one of my favorite “go-to” meals for summertime gatherings with family and friends. Everything can be done in advance, so all you’ll need to do is throw everything on the table and allow guests to fill their plates with their favorite fajita fixins and sides. Simple, yet super satisfying!
Serves 8
2 lbs. (900g) chicken breasts
4 bell peppers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 lime, juice
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. cumin
1 tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup chopped tomatoes
What you need to do
I HIGHLY recommend warming your tortillas. Not only do warm tortillas become softer and the ideal non-jarring, melt-in-your mouth temperature, but the flavors are accentuated when warmed. If you attempt to use room temperature or cold tortillas, you’ll find their temperature isn’t nearly as appetizing and they aren’t as pliable and soft.
We actually use raw tortillas we find at Walmart and cook them fresh on a hot skillet. They are delicious and really elevate the experience.
