Lime is a good match for red cabbage, and its acid keeps the color bright. Napa cabbage is a delicious alternative.

  • 8 tablespoons olive oil divided, plus additional for griddle
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices
  • 1 large bell pepper cut into ¾-inch-thick strips
  • 1 large red onion halved, sliced lengthwise
  • 3 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime peel finely grated
  • 6 fajita-size flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado halved, pitted, sliced

Recipe Method

1. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and chili powder in large bowl. Add chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature or chill up to 4 hours. 2. Toss red cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, lime peel, and 3 tablespoons olive oil in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven until heated through, about 15 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, place large griddle over 2 burners and heat over medium-high heat. Brush griddle with olive oil. Spread chicken on griddle and cook until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are browned, turning frequently with tongs, about 7 minutes total. 5. Divide chicken among warm tortillas; top with cabbage mixture and avocado slices.
