Method
Preparation
Prepare the Chicken or Beef
Slice the chicken breast or beef into thin strips. Season with fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Slice the Vegetables
While the meat is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
Cooking
Cook the Meat
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or beef strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serving
Assemble the Fajitas
Serve the sizzling chicken or beef mixture with warm tortillas. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and add any optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and cilantro as desired.
