-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Chicken Breasts,
1 x (skinless & boneless)
1/2 c Lemon Juice
6 T Coriander, fresh chopped
1 x (or parsley)(both optional)
4 t Cumin
2 t Cornstarch
1 t Salt
1/2 t Pepper
8 ea Flour Tortillas
1 c Salsa, mild red or green
8 ea Romaine lettuce leaves,large
2 T Vegetable Oil
1/2 c Sour Cream

1. Preheat the oven to 200.
2. Cut the chicken breast crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Place the
chicken in a small bowl.
3. Add 6 tablespoons of the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the coriander
(if using), the cumin, cornstarch, salt and pepper and mix gently until
the chicken is well coated; set aside.
4. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in foil. Place them in the oven to
warm for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Maenwhile make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the salsa and
the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of
coriander (if using).
6. Shred the lettuce.
7. In a medium skillet, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the
chicken and saute until white and firm, about 5 minutes.
8. Place the tortillas, chicken, shredded lettuce, sauce and sour cream in
serving dishes. The diners can then assemble their own fajitas by
topping a tortilla with some of each of the ingredients, ending with a
dollop of sour cream, and then rolling it up.
TIME-SAVERS:
MICROWAVE TIP: Just before serving, stack the tortillas and wrap them in a
damp paper towel. Cook at 100% for 1 minute.
DO-AHEAD: Since the fajitas are fine served at room temperature, much of
the preparation can be done ahead of time. The sauce (Step 5) can be
made and the chicken marinated in advance. Just be sure to cook the
chicken and warm the tortillas as close to serving time as possible.
