- ½ cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 fresh jalapeno seeded and chopped
- 3 fresh limes juiced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Fajitas
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into thin slices
- 2 cups bell pepper any color, thinly sliced

- 6-10 corn tortillas
For the Marinade
Combine the marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside for later.
Pour the rest of the marinade into a large plastic bag, add the thinly sliced chicken and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For the Fajitas
Heat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350 degrees F.
Prep the fajita vegetables by combining the sliced peppers, onions in a bowl. Toss or spray with a small about of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill the chicken 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and juicy. Set chicken aside on a serving tray.
Use a grill pan or make a small tray using aluminum foil and place on the grill. Add your veggies. Grill 4-6 minutes until lightly charred.
Remove vegetables from the grill and add to serving tray. Drizzle the chicken and veggies with the reserved tablespoons of marinade. Toss the fajitas in the marinade and stuff in warm corn tortillas.
