Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 piece Red bell pepper
• 1 piece Green bell pepper
• 1 piece Yellow bell pepper
• 1 piece Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 8 pieces Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 2 pieces Avocados
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 piece Roma tomato
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (for guacamole)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (for guacamole)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Thinly slice the red onion.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle half of the spice mixture over them. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, along with the remaining spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and toss everything together until well combined. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

To make the guacamole, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky.

Step 8

Dice the Roma tomato and finely chop the fresh cilantro. Add them to the mashed avocado along with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 9

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 10

Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Serve with a dollop of guacamole on top or on the side.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro or serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.
