Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, toss chicken strips with fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in the warmed tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.

Notes

For spicier fajitas, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fajita seasoning. You can also marinate the chicken in lime juice for a more flavorful and tender result.
