Description

Delicious and easy chicken fajitas made with sautéed chicken, bell peppers, and onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts (large, cut into strips)
  • 3 bell peppers (julienned, any colors will work)
  • 1 large yellow onion (peeled and cut into strips)
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 12 small flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Add chicken to a large bowl and add the seasoning on top, stirring to mix.
  2. Pour canola oil into the cast iron skillet and begin to heat on medium heat.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to begin to cook. Continue to cook the chicken until it turns brown and cooked through (5-7 minutes per side). I like to cut into a piece of chicken and make sure it is no longer pink on the inside.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pan to a separate plate and set aside.
  5. Add the peppers and onions to the skillet. Stir to blend all together.
  6. Continue to cook until the peppers are tender (2-4 minutes) but not limp, stirring occasionally so that they don’t burn.
  7. When the veggies are done, add the chicken back to the pan! Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, cheese, or guacamole.
