Chicken Fajitas Recipe

From the Grill

1. 1

   Marinate and Prep Chicken

   In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and add to the marinade; toss to coat evenly. Let rest 15–20 minutes to absorb flavors.

2. 2

   Slice Vegetables

   While chicken marinates, thinly slice the bell peppers into strips and cut the onion into thin crescents. Pat dry to ensure good sear.

3. 3

   Grill Chicken Strips

   Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill marinated chicken strips in a single layer, about 3–4 minutes per side, until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Remove from grill and keep warm.

4. 4

   Grill Peppers and Onions

   Toss the sliced peppers and onions with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Grill until blistered and tender, about 4–6 minutes, turning once.

5. 5

   Warm Tortillas

   Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or wrapped in foil for 1–2 minutes until pliable and aromatic.

6. 6

   Assemble and Serve

   Serve grilled chicken and vegetables with warm tortillas. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges; let everyone build fajitas to taste.
