Chicken Fajitas
It doesn’t get any better than these incredible (and easy!) Chicken Fajitas, which are loaded with flavor from my homemade fajita seasoning and a delicious marinade. The flavor profile includes hints of tang and citrus from lime juice, fresh garlic, a hint of hot sauce and brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and umami from Worcestershire sauce. The seasonings are well-rounded and include chili powder, cumin, smoke paprika, oregano, and more. Serve this with warm tortillas, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole! Be sure to check out my pro tips below for everything you need to know to nail this recipe!
How to Make It
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Tenderize the chicken breasts and cut them into 1/2-inch strips. Season with salt/pepper and rub with seasoning mixture. Combine the marinade ingredients in a freezer bag and add the chicken. Marinate for 20 minutes. Sear the strips in avocado (or olive) oil and set aside.
Season the bell peppers with salt/pepper and reserved Fajita seasoning and sauté in avocado oil for 5-7 minutes. Add the chicken back and allow it to heat through. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings!
Storage
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Leftover fajita filling does freeze and reheat pretty well!
