Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast against the grain into thin strips.
Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onions and bell peppers to the skillet, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, then add the marinated chicken strips to the other side of the skillet.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and no longer pink.
Mix the chicken with the sautéed vegetables and cook together for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat.
Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture on the warm tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro and a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt.
Roll up the tortillas, and enjoy your low-fat chicken fajitas!
