Fajitas

Chicken fajitas popped in my head one day so I picked up some ingredients and have been waiting to put it together!  I found a marinade online ~ about 1/2 cup beer and juice of one lime, to the side mix 1 Tbs each brown sugar, oil, and Worcestershire sauce and then add to beer mix.  Toss in some chopped garlic, cilantro, salt, and cumin.  I let my cut up chicken marinade about 5 hours.



Fast forward those 5 hours and I started with the rice.  Sauteed some onion in oil and added rice (about a cup and a half).  Once coated in oil, toss in chopped green pepper, frozen corn, can of diced tomatoes, water (about 3 cups), and seasoning.  Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until rice is cooked.  This was my first time making a Spanish rice from scratch like this...yum!



Time for the chicken!  I warmed a skillet and then put in the chicken and disgarded the bag of marinade.  After the chicken was cooked, I threw in some onion and peppers, covered and let them steam cook.  Then added some mushrooms and did the same.  In the meantime, I warmed a can of black beans that I seasoned some.


What a wonderful meal and lots of leftovers!!!
