Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with half the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the chicken, and stir to combine.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, then top with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free chicken fajita burrito!
