Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Lbs Chicken Breasts - Thinly Sliced
- 1 Medium Red Pepper - Thinly Sliced
- 1 Medium Sweet Orange Pepper - Thinly Sliced
- 1 Medium Sweet Yellow Pepper - Thinly Sliced

Directions
Directions
- Place your chicken strips into a medium bowl, sprinkle with half of the fajita seasoning, and toss until evenly coated. Let it sit while you prep the veggies.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken strips in a single layer.
- Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to get a deep, golden-brown sear, then stir and cook for another 2 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet.
- Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions along with the remaining half of the spice blend.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and beautifully charred around the edges.
- Pour the cooked chicken and any collected juices back into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice directly over the mixture.
- Stir everything vigorously for 1 minute to deglaze the pan and coat the chicken and veggies in the tangy, smoky sauce.
- Remove from the heat.
- Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15–30 seconds per side, or stack them and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Load the warm tortillas with the steaming chicken and pepper mix.
- Pile on your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or cheese, and enjoy immediately!
