Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Pour this marinade over the chicken, stir well to coat, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until soft and pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble Fajitas

    Place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeños as desired.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately while hot.
