• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring that all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced green, red, and yellow bell peppers, as well as the sliced red onion.

Step 7

Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften and develop some caramelization.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together until well mixed and heated through.

Step 9

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

Step 10

Serve the soy-free fajita chicken mixture on warmed corn tortillas, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
