Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas, for serving Use for serving the fajitas.
Optional Toppings
  • sour cream For topping.
  • cheese For topping.
  • salsa For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing your chicken breast, bell pepper, and onion. Having everything prepped will make the cooking process smoother.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. This will create the perfect environment for searing your chicken and vegetables.
  2. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, season it with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  3. Toss in the sliced bell pepper and onion into the skillet, along with the fajita seasoning. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften and become fragrant.
Serving
  1. Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in warm tortillas. Encourage everyone to add their favorite toppings for a customized experience!

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs for a juicier flavor, or try adding shrimp or tofu for a twist. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to avoid steaming rather than searing. Warm tortillas slightly before serving to keep them soft and pliable. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat using a skillet or microwave.
