Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 large Green Bell Pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumi
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • 8-10 Flour Tortillas (fajita size)
  • Optional toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, lime wedges, fresh cilantro

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the spices. Toss to coat.
  3. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Cook the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the chicken and add the sliced vegetables to the skillet. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables for 1-2 minutes to combine.
  7. Warm the tortillas and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For best results, use a hot skillet and avoid overcrowding. Customize with your favorite proteins and vegetables.
