Sizzling Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional, for heat
- Flour or corn tortillas
- Toppings sour cream, guacamole, cheese, salsa, cilantro, etc.
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and all the spices. Add sliced chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for max flavor).
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies:
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Toss in sliced onions and peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened but still vibrant.
- Bring It Together:
- Return the chicken to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Serve hot with warm tortillas and favorite toppings.
Notes
- Swap chicken with steak, shrimp, or tofu.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter touch.
- Add more heat with extra cayenne or jalapeños.
- Make it low-carb: try lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
- Don’t skip the marination—it's flavor magic!
