The Best Mexican Chicken Fajitas Recipe



INGREDIENTS:

4-6 large tortillas
1 - 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast sliced in strips
1 thinly sliced green bell pepper
1 thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 thinly sliced red onion - I had white scallion onions
1 seeded and finely diced jalapeno - OPTIONAL
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 chipotle pepper (1/2 for the cooking and 1/2 for the salsa)


Chicken SPICES:
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Add above spices, lemon juice and olive oil to chicken
pieces and rub in well. Let set for 10 minutes or more.

Add 2 tbsp oil to medium high skillet. Add seasoned chicken
and cook for 5-8 minutes until the chicken is done. Remove
from the pan with slotted spoon letting any liquids behind.
Set chicken to the side.

Add 1 tbsp oil to same pan and add vegetables. Cook for 1
minute and add minced garlic, 1/2 chipotle pepper and stir.
Add 1/4 cup of water if needed to help vegetables cook.
Cook for 3-4 minutes and add chicken back into the skillet.
Stir until well combined and remove from the heat.
