Full recipe instructions for preparing Chicken Fajitas
🔥 Prep
- Slice the 500 g chicken breast into thin strips about 1 cm wide.
- Core and slice the 3 bell peppers into thin strips.
- Peel and slice the 1 onion into thin strips.
- Measure out 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lime juice into small bowls.
- Stack the 8 tortillas and keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel.
🔥 Cook
- 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the 2 tbsp olive oil.
- 2. Add the sliced chicken strips to the hot skillet and cook for 5‑6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- 3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
- 4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion; sauté over medium heat for 4‑5 minutes until they are tender‑crisp and slightly charred.
- 5. Return the chicken to the skillet, drizzle with the 1 tbsp lime juice, and toss everything together; cook for an additional 1 minute to combine flavors.
- 6. While the fajita mixture finishes, warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
🔥 Serve
- Serve the sizzling chicken and pepper mixture directly from the skillet onto warm tortillas.
- Offer optional toppings such as sliced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
- Pair with lime wedges and a side of Mexican rice or black beans if desired.
