– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– ½ teaspoon salt

– Salsa and sour cream (optional, for serving)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Fajitas is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly.
3. Heat Skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken strips.
4. Cook Chicken: Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s cooked through and golden brown. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken and vegetables are heating, warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture with the warm tortillas on the side.
9. Add Toppings: Provide lime wedges, salsa, and sour cream for additional flavor.
