A two-ingredient marinade adds great flavor to the chicken in this Southwestern entree.
Chicken Fajitas with Grilled Sweet Corn Salsa
4 (4-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves 2 cups refrigerated salsa 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 ear fresh sweet corn, husked* 1 teaspoon LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas, warmed, if desired 3 green onions, sliced 4 ounces (1 cup) LAND O LAKES® Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1. Place chicken, 1 cup salsa and soy sauce into large resealable plastic food bag. Tightly seal bag; turn several times to coat chicken. Place bag into 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, at least 30 minutes. 2. Heat gas grill on medium-high or charcoal grill until coals are ash white. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Spread butter over corn. Place chicken and corn onto grill. Close lid; grill, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when pierced with a fork and corn begins to brown (12 to 16 minutes). 3. Cut corn from the cob. Stir corn into remaining salsa. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. 4. To serve, spoon about 2 tablespoons salsa mixture onto each tortilla, top with chicken, green onions and cheese; fold over.
Makes 4 servings.
*Substitute 1/2 cup cooked whole kernel corn.
TIP: Pick up a great fresh salsa at many deli counters or from the refrigerated section in your supermarket.
