Fajita Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kabobs

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 red pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 yellow pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 green pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.

Place chicken in plastic bag with fajita marinade. Seal bag; shake; ensure all chicken pieces are well coated. Place bag in refrigerator for 1-8 hours.

Preheat grill on medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken, onion and peppers onto skewers. Discard leftover marinade.

Place kabobs on lightly oiled grill; cover. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, about 8-12 minutes, turning once or twice. Transfer to warmed platter and serve immediately.

Note — if using wooden skewers, soak them in water 20 minutes prior to use.
