Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast or sirloin steak (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 Onion (sliced)
• 1 Green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 8 Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and paprika to make a marinade.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast or sirloin steak into thin strips. Add the meat to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best results.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken or steak to the skillet and toss to mix with the vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

Serve the fajita mixture hot with tortillas on the side. Optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro can be added as desired.
