Fajita Picado Ingredients

Method

Fajita Picado Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by cutting the chicken breast into thin strips. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips as well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with rice, beans, and pico de gallo on the side.
