Protein

1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables

2 whole Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)

1 whole Onion

Spices

2 tsp Chili powder

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Watkins paprika

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Other

2 tbs olive oil

4 whole Flour tortillas

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

Slice the Vegetables

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Cooking

Season the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and peppers. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.

Combine and Heat

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serving

Assemble the Fajitas

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
