A vibrant and flavorful chicken fajita recipe that's quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a family dinner.
Heat half the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, then add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cut the chicken into thin strips for even cooking.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then add the bell peppers and onion. Cook until tender-crisp.
Stir occasionally to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add the salsa, and stir to combine. Heat through.
Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel when microwaving to keep them soft.
Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
