Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is well coated, then cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for fuller flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly oil a separate grill pan or part of the grill and add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly charred and tender.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
Warm the tortillas on the grill for a minute or two until they are pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by placing a few slices of chicken and a generous scoop of grilled onions and peppers onto each tortilla.
Top with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy!
