Recipe - Southwestern-Style Chicken Burritos

One half cup Fresh lime juice
1/3 cup Oil
1/3 cup Tequila
4 Cloves garlic, minced
1 One half teaspoon Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Dried oregano, crumbled
One half teaspoon Dried crushed red pepper
4 Skinless boneless chicken
breast halves
4 10 inch flour tortillas
3 tablespoon Oil
1 Red bell pepper, thinly
cut or sliced up
1 Green bell pepper, thinly
cut or sliced up
1 Red onion, thinly cut or sliced up
1 Clove garlic, minced
8 ounce Monterey jack cheese,
shredded
4 ounce Canned whole green chilies,

Marinade: Mix first 7 ingredients in large shallow baking dish. Add chicken
and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight,
turning chicken occasionally.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Preheat oven to 350F. Wrap tortillas
tightly in foil and place in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large
skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic and saute
until tender, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep
warm in oven.

Remove chicken from marinade and grill until brown and almost cooked
through, about 3 minutes per side. Layer One fourth cup cheese, 1 chili, then
another One fourth cup cheese onto each breast half. Grill until chicken is cooked
through and cheese melts, about 3 minutes.

Arrange 1 chicken breast on each tortilla. Top each with One fourth of sauteed
pepper mixture. Wrap tightly. Place tortilla seam side down, in center of
each plate. Garnish burritos with cilantro and serve, passing salsa
separately.
NOTES : I heat the tortillas on the grill. I also slice the chicken
breasts before putting in tortillas.
