Chicken Fajita

Fajitas de Pollo or chicken fajita is a flavorful Mexican dish consisting of marinated chicken, sautéed onions, and peppers, served with tortillas. Here’s a recipe to make Fajitas de Pollo:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8-10 flour tortillas
• Optional toppings: guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, etc.

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to make the marinade.

3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
6. Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions or directly on the stove flame for a few seconds on each side.
7. Assemble the fajitas by placing a few strips of cooked chicken on a warm tortilla, followed by sautéed onions and peppers. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.
