• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small tortillas
• 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Add the plant-based chicken strips, sliced peppers, and onion to the bowl. Toss everything together until the strips and vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 4

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated plant-based chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer.

Step 5

Grill, stirring occasionally, until the plant-based chicken strips are cooked through and the bell peppers and onions are tender with charred edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

While grilling, warm the tortillas on the side of the grill or in a separate pan over low heat until lightly browned and pliable.

Step 7

Once everything is cooked, remove from heat. Chop the fresh cilantro leaves as a garnish.

Step 8

To assemble the fajitas, place a few grilled plant-based chicken strips and a mix of grilled peppers and onions onto each tortilla.

Step 9

Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot, allowing everyone to customize their fajitas with their preferred toppings.
