6 chicken breast sliced
3 limes juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6-10 garlic cloves minced or use a press or chopped
Mix it all together and let sit overnight or for several hours
Then you can grill or sauté and use for fajitas or make Mexican chicken taco salads or quinoa bowls. OR I plan to add some more jazz and make the chicken taquitos my kids LOVE. Obviously, you can make half or a 1/3 easily with this recipe. I just wanted to use the chicken for several things, so I did a bigger batch. We will be having salad one night with it and I will make taquitos for the freezer with the rest of it.
Another IDEA I LOVE:
Mexican Chicken & Quinoa Salad
2-3 cups salad (romaine is typically what I use)
1/8 cup cooked black beans (I mash as cooking for better consistency)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Several chicken slices from recipe above
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 avocado sliced
Tomato and/or onion would be good toppings too
Use your favorite salsa as “dressing”
