Marinade

Fajitas

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Fajitas

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) is reached. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the vegetables are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Serve with the sautéed vegetables, fresh cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges on the side. Let everyone assemble their own fajitas by placing chicken and vegetables in a tortilla, along with their desired toppings.
