Chicken Fajita Fiesta

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 450 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Soft tortillas for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream shredded cheese, cilantro, salsa, avocado

Instructions

  • Whisk together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss the chicken strips in the mix until evenly coated. Quick marinade, big payoff.
  • Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden and just cooked through, about 4–6 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the onion and peppers. Sauté until they’re crisp-tender and blistered in spots, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan and toss everything together until heated through and nicely mingled.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt or lime juice if you like a brighter kick. Serve hot with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
