Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced

Spices:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil + one more tablespoon
• 1 tablespoon lime (or lemon)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder, or cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Optional ingredients:

• Warm flour tortillas, for serving
• Shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, etc.

Instructions

1. To make these Chicken Fajitas, start by marinating the chicken slices in a mixture of spices, lime juice, and oil for at least 30 minutes. This will help infuse the flavors into the meat and make it tender. While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the bell peppers and onions.
2. Once the chicken has marinated for at least 30 minutes, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, and add the chicken. Cook until it's no longer pink in the center and has a nice caramelized exterior. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the fajitas. I like adding it together once everything is done.
4. To assemble the fajitas, warm up the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of the cooked chicken, bell peppers, and onions in the center of each tortilla. Add any desired toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
5. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to keep the filling intact. Serve the Chicken Fajitas warm with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a complete meal.
