Chicken fajitas are a delicious and flavorful Mexican dish made with marinated chicken, bell peppers, onions, and various spices. They are typically served with flour tortillas and can be topped with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cheese. Here’s a simple recipe to make chicken fajitas at home:

Ingredients: For the chicken marinade:

• • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• For the fajitas:
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (yellow or orange), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Tortillas (flour or corn)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
   • Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade, mixing well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Combine:
   • Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve:
   • Warm your tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
   • Spoon the chicken and veggie mixture onto each tortilla. Top with your choice of sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice.
