Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This will create your marinade.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Place the chicken strips in a shallow dish or a large zip-top bag.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, core and deseed the red and green bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips.

Step 5

Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings or strips.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the grill is heated, place the marinated chicken strips on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the grill and set it aside to rest.

Step 9

Place the sliced peppers and onion onto the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.

Step 10

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

Step 11

Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces if needed.

Step 12

Serve the grilled chicken, peppers, and onions with the warmed corn tortillas.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your soy-free fajitas!
