Directions
- In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lime juice.
- Add the sliced chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little extra olive oil if needed.
- Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, then add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the sautéed vegetables and toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Warm the flour tortillas according to the package instructions. You can do this in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the warmed tortillas. You can top them with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro leaves.
- Roll up the tortillas, and your chicken fajitas are ready to enjoy!
