- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 flour tortillas
- Sour cream, for serving
- Grated cheese, for serving
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
In a large bowl, combine chicken slices with chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside. This will add a delicious crunch and sweetness to your fajitas.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken slices and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are soft and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. This will bring out their natural sweetness and add a smoky flavor to the fajitas.
Warm the flour tortillas according to the package instructions. Add a scoop of cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables to each tortilla. Top with sour cream, grated cheese, and fresh cilantro to taste. Roll up the tortilla and enjoy your homemade Chicken Fajitas!
