Fajita Filling

Tortillas and Fixings

Method

Preparation of Fajita Filling

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

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

Cooking Fajitas

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together to combine. Serve hot.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft. Arrange the tortillas on a serving platter.

  2. 7

    Serve with Fixings

    Serve the sizzling fajita filling alongside the warm tortillas. Offer sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and lime wedges as toppings.
