1. 01

   Make the Marinade

   In a large bag or bowl, combine the juice of one lime, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, 1/8 teaspoon paprika, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons tequila. Whisk or shake it all together until well combined.

   Add Chicken

   Add the 1 pound chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. If using a bag, press out any excess air before sealing.
3. 03

   Marinate Chicken

   Refrigerate the chicken for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld. You can marinate it longer, up to 4 hours, if you have the time.
4. 04

   Grill Chicken

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken strips, flipping them once, until they are cooked through and no pink remains in the center.

   Heat Marinade

   While the chicken cooks, take 1 to 2 tablespoons of the leftover marinade and heat it in a large pan over medium heat. It should just start to shimmer.
6. 06

   Sauté Vegetables

   Add the sliced peppers and onions to the hot pan. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender but still have some bite.

   Assemble Fajitas

   Warm your tortillas. Fill each with spoonfuls of the grilled chicken and sautéed peppers and onions. Add your favorite condiments, like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream, and serve immediately.
