Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 medium pieces onions
- 3 pieces bell peppers
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, juice of 1 lime, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for best results).
While the chicken marinates, slice the onions and bell peppers into thin strips. Toss them in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Grill the onions and bell peppers on the same grill or in a grill basket for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side.
Assemble the fajitas: Place sliced chicken and grilled veggies onto a warm tortilla, then top with sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and cilantro as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
