Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in bite size pieces (or chicken thighs)

1 lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic minced

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1 chopped chipotle pepper (canned in adobo sauce)

1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can of chipotle peppers)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion chopped

3 bell peppers cut in thin strips (any color but variety is better)

limes for squeezing over cooked fajitas mixture and for garnish

flour tortillas

sour cream

guacamole

fresh chopped cilantro

Method

Combine cut chicken, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce in a zipper bag. Marinate for 30-60 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in batches in a single layer until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove cooked pieces of chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until the onions are soft and the peppers are slightly charred on the edges. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm.

Squeeze a little additional lime juice over the fajitas. Serve with warmed tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
