Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 1 piece Green bell pepper
- 1 piece Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
Core and thinly slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and the red onion.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the fajita seasoning.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and sprinkle half the fajita seasoning over the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sprinkle the rest of the fajita seasoning over the vegetables. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, and toss everything together. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and stir to combine.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable.
Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas. Top with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheese if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful Chicken Fajitas Camille Style!
