Ingredients

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium green pepper, halved and seeded
1 medium sweet red pepper, halved and seeded
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
Salsa
eachguacamole dip
Guacamole dip and sour cream or shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the vinegar, lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, salt if desired, oregano and cumin; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Lightly brush vegetables with remaining canola oil. Grill vegetables and chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the grill for 12-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 170°
Meanwhile, warm tortillas according to package directions. Quickly slice chicken and peppers into strips and separate onion slices into rings. Spoon chicken and vegetables down the center of tortillas; fold in sides. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and/or cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

Grilled Beef Fajitas: Prepare as directed, using 1-1/2 pounds beef flank steak in place of the chicken. Grill over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
