Excellent without the sauce also.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1/2 c lemon juice
  • 6 T fresh or 6 tsp dried parsley or cilantro (optional)
  • 4 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 c mild salsa
  • 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 T vegetable oil
  • 1/2 c sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Cut chicken breast crosswise into 1/4 inch thick strips. Place in a small bowl.
  3. Add 6 T of the lemon juice, 1/3 of the cilantro/parsley, 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 5-10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the salsa and the remaining 2 T lemon juice and remaining cilantro/parsley.
  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, the 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.
