Ingredients

For the Seasoning

2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Chicken & Veggies

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch strips
3 medium bell peppers thinly sliced
1 medium onion thinly sliced

For Serving

Flour tortillas
Lime wedges
Fresh cilantro
Avocado

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the fajita seasoning. Remove about 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mixture and set aside in a pinch bowl.
Add the olive oil and lime juice on top of the fajita seasoning in the large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
When ready to cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and place in the preheated pan (keep the marinade). Cook the chicken for 10 minutes until almost cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a large platter, tented to keep warm.
Add the onions and remaining marinade to the same pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook with the onions until they slightly soften, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the vegetables next to the chicken on the platter.
Warm the flour tortillas and serve the fajitas with the tortillas, lime wedges, fresh cilantro and avocado.
