Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close the bag and squish the marinade around to mix. Add the chicken breasts and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Clean the grill and preheat to high. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. (Alternatively, you can spray the grates with a non-flammable cooking spray.) Place the chicken breasts on the grill and spoon any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side (turning only once). Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Whisk lime juice, olive oil, and fajita seasoning together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

TEQUILA CHICKEN FAJITAS
Fajitas are such a great food - they just scream summertime. This is great because you don't need a grill, and you can make it indoors, even if it's not summertime. I got this recipe from the Juan-Carlos Cruz Calorie Countdown Cookbook, and I wanted to save it before I have to return the book to the library! The original recipe says it serves 4. I don't know about you, but I think that would be, like, a kid serving size. Note: Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts in a heavy-duty resealable bag.Mix together the tequila, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, chili powder, salt, pepper, and garlic in a bowl. Pour into the bag with the chicken, and place into the refrigerator for 45 minutes or longer (I would probably do it several hours).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the canola oil. Saute the bell peppers and onion until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Cook the chicken in the same pan in which you cooked the vegetables for about 6 minutes, or until there is no pink left.
- Return the onions and bell peppers to the pan and heat through for about one minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the tortillas and place on plates. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
- Variations:
- Tequila Steak Fajitas: Substitute 3/4 pound flank steak for the chicken breasts.
- Tequila Shrimp Fajitas: Substitute 3/4 pound shrimp for the chicken. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes, or just until pink.

Steps:
- With a sharp, heavy knife, cut each chicken breast in half crosswise for a total of 6 pieces. In a large glass or plastic bowl, combine cilantro, tequila, lime juice, brown sugar, chile, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and mix to coat with marinade. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not marinate longer, because the acid in the marinade will begin to "cook" the chicken.).
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct, medium-high heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above the cooking grate only 2 to 3 seconds; visit our Grilling Essential section for complete instructions).
- While grill heats, remove chicken from marinade, transfer to a platter, and pour marinade into a small bowl. Push your fingers under skin of each piece of chicken and rub meat with 1/2 teaspoons lime zest.
- Place chicken skin side down on oiled cooking grate and brush with marinade; cover gas grill. Cook until skin is browned but not charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn chicken with a wide spatula, brush again with remaining marinade, and cook, turning as needed to prevent burning, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone (cut to test), about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a clean platter.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

This is one of our favorite summertime meals. Marinated chicken and veggies are cooked on the grill and served in a gordita-size tortilla with some sour cream, Cheddar cheese, and some wild rice on the side. We usually use the bottle marinade from the store.

Pour into the bag with the chicken and seal, removing as much air from the bag as possible. Gently massage the chicken with your hands and flip bag back and forth to fully coat the chicken. Place the bag inside a bowl; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Every so often, flip the bag over a few times to keep the chicken coated and moist, while marinating.
