Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle with half of the spice mixture. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Add the minced garlic and remaining spice mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle lime juice over everything and toss well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds.
Serve the chicken fajita mixture in the warm tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced avocado as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
