Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 count boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness
  • 0.5 cup tequila
  • 0.5 cup fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 pieces bell peppers (assorted colors)
  • 2 pieces portobello mushroom caps
  • 1 piece white onion
  • 8 count flour tortillas
  • 2 pieces avocados sliced for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk together tequila, lime juice, orange juice, cumin, and cayenne in a bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the mixture for later; add the rest to a large ziplock bag with the chicken.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours. Remove chicken from marinade and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté peppers, mushrooms, and onion until crisp tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips. Return to the pan with vegetables and pour in the reserved marinade; stir to coat and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Serve warm in flour tortillas with toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, and lime wedges.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh with plenty of lime wedges and chopped cilantro.
