Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a grill pan or skillet, add a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    In the same grill pan or skillet used for the vegetables, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the grilled chicken and sautéed vegetables on the tortillas. Top with sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and salsa as desired.

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    Roll up the tortillas and enjoy your delicious chicken fajitas!
