Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the fajita seasoning.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Mix well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
2
Place the chicken strips in a medium bowl, drizzle with half of the olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the fajita seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: You can marinate the chicken for 15-30 minutes for deeper flavor, but it's not strictly necessary.
3
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
Aşçının notu: Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure good searing.
4
Add the remaining olive oil to the same pan. Add the sliced bell peppers and yellow onion. Sprinkle with the remaining fajita seasoning.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Scrape up any browned bits from the chicken; they add flavor to the vegetables.
5
Sauté the vegetables for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
Aşçının notu: Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness for the vegetables.
6
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Stir in the lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro, if using.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: The lime juice brightens all the flavors.
7
Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings.
Aşçının notu: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds before serving.
