Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
– 1/2 cup lime juice
– 2 cloves garlic minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
– 1 large onion sliced
– 2 large bell peppers any color, sliced
– 8 small flour tortillas
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, salsa

Instructions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the fajitas by placing cooked chicken and vegetables onto a tortilla and adding desired toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

_Tips:_

– Use any color bell peppers you like or a combination.
