Ingredients
  

Fajita Marinade
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 medium fresh lime juiced, about 1 tbsp
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
Fajitas
  • 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium bell peppers any color, cut into strips
  • 1 large onion cut into strips
  • 8 tortillas
Garnishes
  • Shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, avocado slices optional

Method
 

  1. Make fajita marinade by combining the olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add the chicken breast strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate from 4-24 hours in the refrigerator, moving the meat around occasionally.
  3. To cook, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until hot. Remove chicken strips from marinade and discard marinade.
  4. Add chicken strips to the skillet and cook 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly until cooked through and slightly browned on all sides.
  5. Add the bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Stirring often.
  6. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas. (To warm, follow the package instructions, or heat in an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side.)
  7. If desired, add shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, avocado slices or any other toppings that you like. Enjoy!
