Easy Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 lime
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green or orange)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt (divided, more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin (optional)

Method

  1. Slice the onion into strips and cut the peppers into strips.
  2. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of half a lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with this marinade.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook half the chicken until just done, about 3-5 minutes, then remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. Cook the onions for 2 minutes, then add the peppers and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook another 2 minutes until just heated through. Return the chicken to the pan and stir to combine.
  5. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and serve in tortillas.
