What's Cooking Wednesday - Barbecued Fajitas

I love. Love. LOVE. Mexican food. Tacos, fajitas, burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas. So it was no question I would have to try this recipe when I stumbled across it. This dish has a lot of things going for it; very quick, very easy and very yummy.

Barbecued Fajitas

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
1 medium each green and red pepper cut in to strips
1 medium onion cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup Kraft original barbecue sauce
8 flour tortillas
1 cup Kraft TexMex shreds
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream

Preheat grill to medium high heeat. Toss chicken and vegetables with barbecue sauce. Let stand 5 minutes to marinate.

Grill chicken and vegetables in a stir fry basket 7 to 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked thorugh and vegetables are tender crisp, stirring occasionally.

Spoon mixture evenly onto tortillas; top with cheese, salsa and sour cream. Roll up.

Shan's Recipe Notes: This recipe calls for a barbecue stir fry pan which I don't happen to own. Instead I used my pizza pan, which is made from the same principal, it's just flat.They also suggest using a tinfoil pan and poking holes in the bottom of it. If you cut the veggies large enough you could do them right on the grill. I actually cooked the chicken strips on the grill so they'd have those nice grill marks on them. I also cut everything up and tossed it with sauce in the morning and let it marinate all day.

This recipe is great as is. It's also open to interpretation. Try grilling different veggies. Use a different barbecue sauce or cheese. Throw on your favourite taco toppings

This one is a whole family favourite
