Chicken Fajitas
Chicken Fajitas are one of my favorite Tex-Mex dishes (and easy weeknight dinners). They are super flavorful and extremely easy to make. Chicken breasts are tossed with a homemade fajita seasoning and then sizzled in a hot skillet with onions, garlic, and peppers. Serve over warm tortillas!
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 medium onion (cut into slivers)
- 3 bell peppers of any color (sliced into slivers)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into ¼-inch thick strips and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the chili powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cumin. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated in spices.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken to a plate and repeat with the other half of the chicken.
- Set the chicken aside and add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute until slightly softened.
- Add the bell peppers and garlic. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add back the chicken and toss to combine. Pour the lime juice all over and serve over warm tortillas. Enjoy!
