Chicken Fajita Burritos

Fajitas. Need I say more? We have a Mexico trip coming up. It's on my mind...

3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1 sm. lime, juiced
1 T. oil
1 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. cilantro, fresh, snipped
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. chili powder
dash pepper
1 med. onion, sliced in thin wedges
1 green pepper, sliced in strips
*1 red pepper. sliced in strips
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes, drained OR
1 tomato, cut into thin wedges
2 T. snipped cilantro
flour or corn tortillas

Slice chicken in thin strips across the grain. Mix lime juice, oil, minced onion, cilantro, sugar, chili powder, and pepper in a container for marinating. Add chicken, seal, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Prepare vegetables as directed. Pour meat and marinade into hot saute pan over HI heat. Stir fry until meat browns and starts to caramelize. Turn heat down to MED HI. Add onion and pepper to pan and fry, stirring, until crisp tender. Add black beans, diced tomatoes, and additional cilantro. Heat through. Serve in warm tortillas with sour cream and salsa. Serves 6-8.
