Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
  • 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece Yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece Green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece Red onion, sliced
  • 6 pieces Tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, honey, minced garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to absorb flavors.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers, as well as the red onion. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the mixture and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or sriracha, if desired.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Assemble the fajitas by adding the chicken and vegetable mixture to each tortilla. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Spicy Sesame Chicken Fajitas!
