Sizzling, colorful, and endlessly customizable, fajitas turn any night into a fiesta. Tender strips of chicken are seared with smoky seasoning until charred at the edges, then tossed with sweet bell peppers and onions. A squeeze of lime brightens everything up before it all gets tucked into warm tortillas, so everyone can build their own and load them up just the way they like.
Ingredients
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!
