Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 2 large medium red bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 medium jalapeño thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4-inch thick strips (or flank steak)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice from 2 limes
- For serving:
- Tortillas warmed
- Sour cream

- Guacamole
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the largest skillet you have (at least 12 inches) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
- Cook, tossing often with tongs to prevent burning, until they begin to soften and brown, about 3 minutes.
- Cook the peppers, jalapeño, and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers, jalapeño, and garlic and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
- Cook, again tossing often, until starting to brown and the garlic is quite fragrant, about 3 minutes. Brown the chicken with the spices.
- Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat (no need to clean) and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, oregano, and cumin.
- Cook undisturbed until the chicken has some golden-brown color, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes total.
- Add the vegetables back to the pan, add the lime juice, and finish cooking. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are soft, about 2 minutes moreServe the chicken and vegetables in warmed tortillas with sour cream and extra lime wedges for squeezing.
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
