Chicken fajitas with bell pepper and onion recipe

 

For the Chicken Fajitas:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into thin strips

1 tbsp olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Seasoning:

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

For Serving:

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Avocado slices or guacamole

Salsa or pico de gallo

Lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, mix chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.

4. Combine everything: Return the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle the seasoning mix over everything, and toss well. Cook for another 2 minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.

5. Serve: Warm the tortillas and fill them with the fajita mixture. Top with cilantro, avocado, and any other toppings you like!
