Method
Marinade the Chicken
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Cook the Vegetables
Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Chicken
Grill the Chicken
In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the marinated chicken breasts over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Slice the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat, let it rest for a few minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the Fajitas
Warm the Tortillas
In a dry skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
Serve
On each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and salsa. Roll up the tortillas and enjoy your fajitas!
