Steps

Prepare Ingredients

Slice chicken breast into thin strips. Slice bell peppers and red onion into thin strips. In a bowl, combine chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil and fajita seasoning. Mix well.

Roast Vegetables

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced peppers and onions. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook Chicken

Add the marinated chicken strips to the same hot pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

Combine & Serve

Return the roasted vegetables to the pan with the chicken. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and toss to combine. Serve immediately with warm tortillas, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro if desired.

Extra Tips

► For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight in the fridge.

► Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave just before serving to make them soft and pliable.

► Feel free to add other toppings like guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese for a richer experience.
