Fajita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Marinate them with olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together to combine. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
