Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 2

    Slice Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set aside.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

  2. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    In the same grill pan, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble Fajitas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with grilled chicken, grilled bell peppers and onions. Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, and fresh cilantro.
