Ingredients

Marinade
1/2
cup fresh lime juice
1/3
cup vegetable oil
1/3
cup tequila
4
garlic cloves, minced
1
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1
tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1/2
tsp dried crushed red pepper
4
large boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4
10-inch flour tortillas
3
tbsp vegetable oil
1
red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1
yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1
red onion, sliced
1
garlic clove, minced
2
cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
4
canned whole green chilies (about 1 4-ounce can)
Fresh cilantro
Purchased salsa

Directions

1.
For marinade:
2.
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.
3.
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and place in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm in oven.
4.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Layer 1/4 cup cheese, 1 chili, then another 1/4 cup cheese onto each breast half. Grill until chicken is cooked through and cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
5.
Arrange 1 chicken breast on each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 of sautéed pepper mixture. Wrap tightly. Place tortilla, seam side down, in center of each plate. Garnish burritos with cilantro and serve, passing salsa separately.
