Marinade
12 ounces Corona beer
1/3 cup tequila (Jose Cuervo Gold is best)
1/3 cup Rose's lime juice or 1/3 cup lime juice
Fixins
4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green peppers, sliced into rings (or 1 red and 1 green)
1 onion, sliced, rings separated
8 soft flour tortillas
Toppings (as desired)
shredded cheese
sliced black olives
chopped lettuce
salsa
sour cream (I prefer fat free)
sliced diced jalapenos or sliced diced jalapeno
diced tomato
guacamole

1
In a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
2
Add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
3
(Overnight works best, if possible) Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
4
When thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
5
Add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
6
Heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
7
If you don't have a tortilla warmer, I've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
8
Place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
9
Top as desired with remaining ingredients.

It's kinda fun to let people create their own.
