Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Onion, sliced
• 8 Gluten-free corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the bowl. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers along with the sliced onion.

Step 6

Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly softened and have a nice char.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing it with the cooked vegetables to combine and heat through.

Step 8

Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet or directly over the gas flame until pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 10

Top with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a few slices of avocado.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Chicken Fajita Tacos!
