Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 8 pieces coconut tortillas
• 1 pieces sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup jalapeño slices

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

While the grill is heating, slice the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips.

Step 6

Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 7

At the same time, you can use a grill basket or pan to sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion until they are tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Step 9

Warm the coconut tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 10

Assemble the fajitas by placing grilled chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto each tortilla.

Step 11

Garnish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Grilled Chicken Fajitas!
