Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup lime juice
1 cup tequila
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 garlic cloves; minced
1 whole jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 lb chicken breasts
10 flour tortillas
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large bell pepper; cut into strips
1 large onion; cut into strips
1 large tomato; cut into chunks

Instructions

In a glass bowl or baking dish, combine 1/2 cup oil, lime juice, tequila, tomato paste, garlic, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, and cumin. Blend well. Add chicken, cover, and marinate in refrigerator at least 6 hours or overnight.

Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes while preparing fajitas.

Remove chicken from marinade. In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Add chicken and cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is done. Add bell pepper and onion and cook 3 minutes more along with tomatoes, just until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Serve with tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and grated cheese.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
