Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Chicken and Vegetables

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Fajitas

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the tortillas, topped with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Roll up and enjoy!
