Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced onions and peppers, cooking until they are tender and slightly charred (about 5-7 minutes). Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken. Cook until it’s browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).
  4. Combine: Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine and heat through.
  5. Serve: Warm the tortillas and fill them with the fajita mixture. Add any optional toppings as desired.
