Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onion and tomato. Wash and dry the lettuce.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken fajita strips with salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Cooking

    Sauté Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each sandwich bun. Layer with sautéed chicken and onions, followed by Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwiches, slice in half if desired, and serve with salsa on the side.
