Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece large onion, sliced
• 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced
• 8 pieces small tortillas
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas on the grill for a minute or two until they are pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the fajitas by placing a few slices of chicken and a generous scoop of grilled onions and peppers onto each tortilla.

Step 10

Top with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy!
