Method

For the Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

For the Fajitas

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Layer sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream onto each tortilla. Roll or fold to serve.

For the Sides

  1. 7

    Prepare the Black Beans

    Heat the canned black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 8

    Serve with Rice

    Serve the fajitas alongside cooked rice to complete the meal.
