Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 6 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced and pressed
- 1 tbsp. worchestshire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 jalapeno, seeded, ribbed, and diced
- 1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3/4 tsp. pepper
- 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied (6 halves total), about 1 1/2 lbs.
- 1 large red onion (about 14 oz.), sliced into 1/2 inch thick sliced, rings not separated
- 2 large bell peppers (about 10 oz. each), stemmed, quartered, and seeded
- 8-12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 4 tbsp. of the vegetable oil, garlic, Worchestshire sauce, brown sugar, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinate; set aside. Place chicken breast halves in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Brush both sides of the onion rounds and peppers with the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, using a large chimney starter, ignite 6 quarts of charcoal briquettes and burn until the coals are fully ignited, about 20 minutes. Empty the coals into the grill, spreading them into a single layer. Place an additional 20 unlit coals over the lit coals on one side of the grill to create a two-level fire. Place the grill grate over the coals and allow to heat for 5 minutes. Scrape the grate clean with a grill brush.
- Remove the chicken breast halves from the marinade and transfer to the hotter side of the grill; discard the left over marinade. Place the onion rounds and peppers on the cooler side of the grill. Cook the chicken until it is well-browned, 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, flip the chicken and continue grilled until it is no longer pink inside. Meanwhile, cook onions and peppers until spottily charred and crisp-tender, about 8-12 minutes, turning once or twice as needed. When the chicken and vegetables are done, transfer them to a large plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- In 2 or 3 batches, transfer the tortillas in a single layer to the now empty grill on the cooler side. Cook until arm and lightly browned, about 20 seconds per side. When the tortillas are done, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or foil.
- Separate the onions into rings and place them in a medium bowl. Slice the bell peppers lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips and add them to the bowl of onions. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved unused marinated and toss well to combine. Slice the chicken into 1/4 inch strips and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of reserved marinade in another bowl. Arrange the chicken and vegetables on a large platter with the warmed tortillas and serve.
