Drescription

Time to clean out the fridge? These versatile skillet chicken fajitas are designed to work with whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand. The key is to slice all the veggies to approximately the same size so they cook evenly.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons canola or olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into strips
  • 4 cups thinly sliced vegetables, such as onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and/or mushrooms (14 oz.)
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
  • ½ cup prepared guacamole
  • ½ cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large wok or cast-iron or other stick-resistant skillet (not Teflon-based nonstick, see Tip) over high heat. Add chicken, vegetables, chili powder, and salt; cook, tossing with tongs occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables begin to brown, about 7 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, stack tortillas and wrap in a barely damp, clean kitchen towel (or paper towel). Microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds.
  3. Divide the chicken-and-vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Top each with 2 Tbsp. guacamole and 2 Tbsp. yogurt. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Made with Love Lillikoi Pancakes

While traveling, I make it a point to try food locally available and at times I research and find out best food joints a place has to offer. Last year, we been to Oahu for our honeymoon and on the last day of the trip we went crazy on trying all the famous stuff that we had made a list of like Leonard bakery's malasada(fried yeast doughnu Portuguese origins), Liliha bakery's cocoa puffs etc etc and Moke's Lillikoi pancakes. You might wonder what is LIllikoi? Lillikoi is nothing but passionfruit in Hawaii. Moke's place is very small joint but serves it's patrons with a big heart. I was so excited to have these pancakes. It was 3 o'clock at noon , they were out of pancake batter, but all of a sudden they told us they would manage to serve us a small stack of pancakes! That's all we wanted! These pancakes were a deal especially the sauce. Not only did we had second serving of the sauce but also did they pack us it in a container, which we later on enjoyed on the beach. I do not know the recipe but I am trying to do some justice what we had at Moke's . So enjoy my version of Lilikoi pancakes in the pancake month February!
