Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (You could substitute with shrimp or tofu if you want to mix it up!)
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 bell pepper any color you like!, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Flour or corn tortillas for wrapping
- Your favorite toppings like avocado sour cream, cheese, or salsa!
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: First up, grab your chicken! Slice it into thin strips, place it in a bowl, and sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss it all together. Make sure every piece gets coated with those fantastic spices. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you prep your veggies!
- Sauté those Veggies: In a large skillet, heat up the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper, adding a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until those colorful beauties are tender and just starting to caramelize. The smell? Oh boy, it’ll fill your kitchen with pure magic!
- Cook the Chicken: Now, push those veggies to the side of the skillet and add in your marinated chicken. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes until it’s no longer pink and has a beautiful golden color. Toss everything together, add the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1 minute until you can smell that garlicky goodness!
- Warm the Tortillas: Meanwhile, you can toast or warm your tortillas either in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Soft tortillas = happy fajitas!
- Assemble and Serve: Alright, now for the fun part! Take a warm tortilla, add in your chicken and veggies, and pile on your favorite toppings. I personally love guacamole and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up, take a big bite, and enjoy the fiesta in your mouth!
