Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Tequila
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 Low-carb tortillas
• 4 tablespoons Sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Warm the low-carb tortillas according to their package instructions.

Step 10

Serve the chicken fajitas mixture inside the tortillas with a dollop of sour cream (if desired) and additional lime wedges for garnish.
