📝 Preparation Steps

In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste (I like 1 teaspoon).

chili powder2 teaspoonsground cumin1 teaspoonpaprika1 teaspoonsalt

To a large zipper-top plastic bag, add chicken, cilantro, lime juice, and fajita seasoning. Mash until chicken is evenly coated. Marinate at least ⏱️ 30 minutes (room temperature) or up to ⏱️ 1 hour (refrigerated).

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add chicken and cook until crispy and browned on one side, about ⏱️ 8 minutes.

Flip and cook until browned on the second side and chicken registers 165 degrees, about 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes before cutting into strips (do not discard fat in skillet).

To the skillet with the fat over medium-high heat, add bell peppers and onions and cook until tender, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Push peppers and onions to one side and add sliced chicken back to skillet for serving. Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
