Fajita Grilled Chicken Stuffed Tacos
Fajit Head to the store and pick up butter, pico de gallo, onion, and a few other things to make it today. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for The Fourth Of July. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free diet.
Instructions
Lightly pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet, then score each side with a sharp knife. Coat chicken in Fajita Seasoning.
Place onto hot grill, and cook 30-35 minutes, or until juices run clear, flipping after 15 minutes.
While chicken is grilling, sauté onion and peppers in the butter over medium heat until onions are translucent.
Add rice, cayenne, and pineapples. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally.
When chicken is done, cut into pieces. Top taco shells with rice mixture and chicken.
Serve with salsa or pico de gallo, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Dutton-Goldfield Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 58 dollars per bottle.

Dutton-Goldfield Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir
The 2016 vintage of their Emerald Ridge Pinot is especially focused and lively, beautifully showcasing its Green Valley roots. Bright cherry, cigar box, and rhubarb pie aromas lead the way, followed by darker scents of blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry blossom after time in the glass. Savory notes of thyme, cardamom and clove provide an extra layer of complexity. The mouth is full of sweet cherry/berry plush fruit, carried on firm tannins, giving the wine that lusciousness that keeps you coming back for more. Dark cherry pie with nutmeg spice echoes in the energetic finish. The salty, tangy notes of an aged goat cheddar bring out the sweet fruit in the wine, as does a savory smoky glazed ham, or mushroom bruschetta.
