Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat it evenly with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the vegetables are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken, sautéed peppers, and onions. Serve with a wedge of lime and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and guacamole as desired.
