Grilled Tequila-Lime Chicken Fajitas

Cinco de Mayo - BBQ and Grilling

This is one of our favorite summertime meals. Marinated chicken and veggies are cooked on the grill and served in a gordita-size tortilla with some sour cream, Cheddar cheese, and some wild rice on the side. We usually use the bottle marinade from the store.
