Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, stir in the chipotle dressing, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the chicken and vegetables.
2
Prep the chicken and vegetables
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into ¼-inch-wide strips.
- Peel and cut enough onion into ¼-inch-thick slices to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Set aside half the fajita spice blend for the vegetables.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season the chicken with salt, pepper, and half the fajita spice blend.
3
Cook the chicken and vegetables
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then cut the chicken into ½-inch-thick slices. Do not clean the pan.
In the same pan used for the chicken, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining fajita spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan if using for the tortillas.
While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the jicama.
4
Prep the jicama
- Using a sharp knife or a peeler, remove the peel from the jicama; cut the white flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick sticks.
- Zest and juice ½ lime; cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Zest and juice 1 lime; cut the remaining lime into wedges.]
In a medium bowl, toss together the jicama, lime zest, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.
5
Warm the tortillas
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in the same pan used for the chicken and vegetables over medium heat, warm the tortillas, turning once, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.
Serve
Set out the rice, chicken, vegetables, jicama, tortillas, guacamole, and lime wedges. Invite everyone to assemble their own fajitas.
