Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Place them in a bowl and season with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Combine and Heat

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas immediately with lime wedges on the side.
