Let's learn a new recipe together. Here's a simple and delicious recipe for Chicken Fajitas:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro
Instructions:
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
- Assemble the fajitas by slicing the cooked chicken and vegetables into strips. Serve with warm tortillas, and add your desired toppings.
Tips and Variations:
- Use any combination of bell pepper colors you like, or add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
- Add some heat to your fajitas by using hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as diced avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
- Make it a vegetarian option by substituting the chicken with sautéed portobello mushrooms or black beans.
