Chicken or Shrimp Fajitas

 

I made these the other night and they have a muy bueno flavor and everyone really liked them.  I threw the shrimp in the same skillet with the peppers and onions  just as the peppers and onions were about done. 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup beer
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs chicken or shrimp
• salt to taste

Directions:

1. To prepare the marinade, stir together beer, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, liquid smoke, cumin, and salt; mix well.
2. To use marinade, pour into a re-sealable plastic bag, add up to 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast, and mix until chicken is well coated. Marinate for 1 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Heat the outside grill or a large indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and place it on the hot grill, discard the marinade. Cook chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side, 2 minutes for shrimp. Slice the chicken into strips if you are using.
Serve in a flour tortilla with grilled bell pepper and onions, guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo.  Wash it down with a sangria swirl!  Delicioso!
