Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (your choice of color)
- 1 onion, sliced
- Flour tortillas, for serving
- Toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and lime wedges
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make sure all the chicken is coated with the spices. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through until it’s cooked through and browned.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir everything together, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- While everything is finishing up in the skillet, you can warm your tortillas in another pan or directly over a flame for a few seconds to achieve that perfect char.
- Once the fajitas are ready, serve them up on a platter with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings. Let everyone build their own with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and a squeeze of lime for that extra zing!
