Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 whole green bell pepper
• 1 whole yellow onion
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 whole avocado
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine the juice of one lime, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers as well as the yellow onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Add the sliced peppers and onions to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and lightly charred. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until they are pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the fajitas, place a few strips of grilled chicken, sautéed peppers, and onions on each tortilla.

Step 9

Top with freshly chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 10

Serve the fajitas hot and enjoy your dairy-free meal!
