Ancho Chipotle Chicken Fajitas

Fajitas are a go-to meal for us. Low in carbs, great flavor and so easy. I found some pre-marinated Ancho chicken at Vons over the weekend and thought it would make perfect fajitas. I was right- so delicious. They came out a little watery with the marinade, but just drain before adding to your corn tortilla and it will be fine. I had a corn tortilla for one, but then just put the mix over fresh baby spinach. It was perfect!

1 package of Ancho Chipotle Chicken *
2 pasilla peppers
1 red pepper 
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion
salt and pepper



Directions:
  • In a dutch oven or normal pan, add olive oil and onions cut into thin long pieces and saute for about 4 minutes. 
  • Add peppers and mix all together. Then add salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Add chicken thighs and get them all mixed in with the veggies. 
  • Cover the dutch oven and let cook about 15-20 minutes. 
  • Remove the chicken and cut into strips, then add back to the veggies and stir. 
  • Serve it up on your favorite warmed corn tortilla or over a bed of spinach!

* I am not sure if the chicken is only available and Vons and Safeway. If you don't have or can't find the pre-marinated chicken, from eating the chicken, I think the following would be a good substitute for the marinade. Mix 1 tablespoons ancho chili powder, 1/2 cup chili sauce, 5 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons coffee and the zest of 1 orange.
