Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tbsp fajita seasoning store-bought or homemade
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 medium bell peppers any color, sliced into strips
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 8 small flour tortillas for serving

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best results. Make-Ahead: The chicken can be seasoned and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. For a low-carb option, serve the fajita mixture over cauliflower rice or in lettuce cups instead of tortillas. You can swap the chicken for shrimp or thin strips of beef. For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the fajita seasoning.
