Ingredients
  

  • Marinade
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fajitas
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers red, yellow, green, sliced into strips
  • 1 large red onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Flour tortillas

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  4. Cook the Chicken and Vegetables:
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until they are fully cooked and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell peppers and red onion. Sauté until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
  9. Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
