Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat thoroughly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice Vegetables

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. 5

    Warm Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble Fajitas

    On each warmed tortilla, layer some grilled chicken strips, sautéed peppers, and onions. Add your choice of sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese on top. Roll the tortillas and serve immediately.
