Spicy Sesame Chicken Fajitas image

I haven't actually tried this recipe. It comes from The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook which was a Christmas gift. I have tried several of the dishes from the book and all have been good. Now that summer is here, I can do these on the grill.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
salt
12 corn tortillas
avocado, chopped
shredded lettuce
salsa
sour cream

Steps:

  • Between 2 sheets of wax paper, flatten chicken breasts 1 at a time to 1/8 inch thickness using heavy saucer or other pounding device.
  • (I use my wooden rolling pin for this.) Continue until all chicken breasts have been flattened, refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • When ready to cook, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with sesame seeds, cayenne and salt.
  • Set aside while preparing grill.
  • If using a charcoal grill, allow coals to burn until they are mostly covered with white ash and a few red spots show through here and there.
  • This should take about 40 minutes.
  • When fire is ready, place chicken on grill and cook until no longer pink but still mosit in center, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
  • Cut chicken into then strips.
  • Serve with warmed corn tortillas, chopped avacado, shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream.
