Method

Fajitas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Add garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and mix until evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Vegetables

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

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

  6. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Warm Tortillas

    In a separate dry skillet, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
