Introduction
A quick, vibrant, and delicious 30-minute Mexican dish featuring tender chicken strips marinated in citrus and warm spices, tossed with colorful sautéed bell peppers and sweet onions. Perfect for a fast, flavorful weeknight dinner that the whole family will love.
Step 1
Slice the green, red, and yellow bell peppers along with the white onion into thin strips.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into strips of similar size to the sliced vegetables.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine salt, cumin, oregano, chili powder, paprika, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and the juice of one lime. Whisk well to create the fajita marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the sliced chicken, add the fresh cilantro leaves, and thoroughly toss to coat the chicken.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, season with garlic salt and black pepper, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until softened.

Important Notes
You can easily substitute chicken breast with steak or shrimp to suit your preference.
There is no need to marinate the chicken in advance; it absorbs plenty of flavor while sitting on the cutting board as you cook the vegetables.
Keep the chicken and vegetable slices uniform in size so they cook evenly and are easy to wrap in tortillas.
