• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 8 small Flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
• 0.5 cup Guacamole
• 0.5 cup Salsa

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion thinly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning mix.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the seasoning mix, and lime juice until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced peppers and onions, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.

Step 10

To assemble the fajitas, place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a tortilla and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, guacamole, and salsa as desired.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your Fabulous Fajitas!
