Method

Marinated Chicken

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Vegetable Fajita Mix

Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred.

Cook the Chicken

Grill or Sauté the Chicken

In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Slice the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into strips.

Fajita Assembly

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assemble the Fajitas

On each tortilla, layer sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Serve

Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
