Easy Chicken Fajitas Recipe

Easy Chicken Fajitas Recipe

  • 1 teaspoon pure chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 green bell pepper – cored, seeded and cut into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 8 flour tortillas, warmed in the microwave
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Lime wedges for serving
  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the chile powder with the salt, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cornstarch, water and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken, bell pepper and onion, seal and knead gently to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Empty the contents of the bag into the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
  3. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large bowl and serve with the warmed tortillas, lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.
