Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons white wine
6 tablespoons butter (I've omitted this ingredient with success when watching calories)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
20 flour tortillas (the fresher, the better)
sauteed onions or marinated onion (see recipe below)
pico de gallo
guacamole
tomatoes, slices
green bell pepper, rings
2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 dried arbol chiles, crushed or 2 fresh jalapenos, chopped
2 large onions, sliced into thin rings

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill (indoor or out) or the broiler.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to 3/4 inch thickness, and set aside.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over high heat for 3- 4 minutes.
  • Pour the wine into the skillet, and boil it for 1- 2 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Stir in soy sauce, garlic, and pepper, and cook until they are just combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add butter and stir until just melted.
  • Remove skillet from heat.
  • Dip the chicken breasts into the sauce, and turn them to coat thoroughly.
  • Place breasts 3- 4" from heat source, or on in-door grill.
  • Cook a few minutes until done to your taste.
  • Remove from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the breasts into slim finger length strips.
  • To assemble the fajitas, pile a platter high with the chicken strips, and accompany the platter with tortillas, onion, pico de gallo, guacamole, tomatoes and bell pepper rings.
  • Let everyone help themselves.
  • For each serving, fill a tortilla with some of the chicken and portions of the garnishes.
  • Marinated onions: Reduce the stock to 1 cup in a small sauce pan.
  • Add soy sauce and chiles; stir.
  • Place onions in a medium bowl and pour the marinade over them.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight.
  • Present the onions cold as a garnish, or heat them in the top of a double boiler and serve warm.
  • They'll keep at least 10 days.

NINFA'S ORIGINAL FAJITAS



Ninfa's Original Fajitas image

This recipe comes from Mama Ninfa. She would give this recipe out to the publications that would ask for it in the late 80s. It is an awesome recipe. It has been suggested that the fruit and fruit juices were an embellishment that was added. I don't know, try it both ways. This, however you look at it, is an awesome Fajita recipe. You can cook these on a grill but for best results, use apple and pecan wood.

Provided by Oscar Acosta

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp Orange Zest
¼ tsp lime zest
2 ea lime juice - You need about 1/4 cup
¼ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup Sherry or Zinfandel
¼ cup Kikkoman soy sauce
1 clove garlic - minced
1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
3 ea chiles de arbol - crushed
3 tbsp clarified butter
2 ea large skirt steaks
12 ea warm flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Combine lime and orange zest with ¼ cup water. The lime juice, sherry, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, chiles, and butter in a large baking dish.
  • Remove any membrane or silver skin from the meat.
  • Place the skirts in the marinade and make sure they are fully coated.
  • Cover the dish and let rest for two hours.
  • Grill the fajitas on the grill or charcoal grill. Preferably, use apple and pecan wood instead of charcoal. The wood gives the skirt steak an unbelievable flavor that Ninfa's is known for.
