Chicken Fajitas with grilled chicken, bell peppers, and caramelized yellow onions, burst with flavor and they're so easy to make.

Ingredients

1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

1 lime (juiced)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Mexican oregano

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 yellow onion (thinly sliced)

1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1 yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)

8 flour tortillas

Optional toppings: (sour cream, cotija, cilantro, lime wedges, salsa, avocado)

Method

Add the chicken, 1 tablespoon of oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Toss until the chicken is well coated in the spices. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.

In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

To the same skillet, add in the remaining oil. One hot, add in the onion and pepper. Cook, stirring often until golden and softened, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.

Serve hot with tortillas and any desired toppings.
