Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds until soft.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each tortilla, add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
