Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast, olive oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. 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 large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

  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

    In a separate pan or microwave, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until they are soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    To serve, place a portion of sliced chicken and sautéed vegetables on each tortilla. Add toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, and salsa as desired. Roll up the tortilla and enjoy your sizzling fajitas!
