Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Bell peppers (any color)
• 1 medium Onion
• 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick and even cooking.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 4

Thinly slice the bell peppers and the onion.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and then add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté them until they are tender and slightly charred, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

To serve, place a few spoonfuls of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each lettuce leaf.

Step 9

Top with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Fajita Tacos!
