- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Onion
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
Cut the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion thinly.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning mix.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the seasoning mix, and lime juice until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced peppers and onions, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
To assemble the fajitas, place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a tortilla and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, guacamole, and salsa as desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Fabulous Fajitas!
