Saucy Fajitas

2 cups tomato Sauce
2 Jalapeno peppers or 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
4 tbsp fresh coriander, minced
2 limes
Salt & Pepper
Chicken thighs (I used chicken breasts instead)
4 Tbs oil
2 tsp Cumin
2-3 Peppers any color
1 tsp minced garlic

Combine ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Serve in tortillas.

The recipe called for fresh coriander--there is no such thing. Coriander is the seed for cilantro--but apparently they have completely different flavors. Needless to say, I used coriander but only put in one tsp (on the assumption that you always use less if it is ground than fresh and didn't want to overpower it). Feel free to add more (if you've got it) if you think it needs it.

Actually, in the UK and elsewhere fresh cilantro is called coriander, not just the seed (like it is here in the US). So the recipe is probably actually calling for fresh cilantro, but just using the foreign term for the herb.
