1
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, mezcal, and adobo sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Prepare Vegetables
While the chicken is marinating, wash and slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

3
Grill Chicken
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4
Sauté Vegetables
In the same grill or skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
5
Assemble Fajitas
On a grilled tortilla, layer a portion of the grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, and sprinkle shredded jack cheese on top. Add a dollop of guacamole and serve with Mexican rice on the side.
