Instructions

  • In a medium bowl mix together the lime juice, oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, jalapeño  cilantro, salt and pepper. Reserve ⅓ cup of the marinade and set aside. Place chicken in the marinade, cover and let sit in the refrigerator 15-30 minutes.
  • Brush the peppers and onion slices with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place vegetables and marinated chicken on grill, turning the chicken 45 degrees after about 3 minutes to create grill marks.
  • Continue to cook peppers and onions, flipping them until they are charred and the onions are translucent.
  • Flip chicken breast and continue cooking until they reach 160 degrees or are no longer pink inside. Transfer to a platter and allow chicken to rest, so juices redistribute.
  • Separate the onions into rings and slice the peppers and chicken into strips.
  • Drizzle remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables and toss to coat.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables with the flour tortillas and your choice of toppings.
