Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 Large onion
• 8 Low-sodium tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 Fresh avocado (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin powder, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin rings.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

Step 6

Grill the chicken pieces directly on the grill or in a grill pan for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, in a separate grill basket or pan, grill the bell peppers and onions until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once everything is cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Warm the low-sodium tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 10

To assemble, place a few strips of chicken and a generous helping of grilled peppers and onions on each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro and slices of avocado if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium grilled chicken fajitas!
