Main Ingredients

Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Add Chicken to Marinade

    Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and browned.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 6

    Warm Tortillas

    While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.

  2. 7

    Serve Fajitas

    Serve the sizzling chicken and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas. Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro if desired.
