How to Make Another Chicken Fajitas Recipe
- **Prep the Veggies:** Seed and thinly slice 2 bell peppers (any color) and 1 large onion. Set aside.
- **Prep the Chicken:** Slice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the diagonal into 3cm strips.
- **Make the Marinade:** Zest the rind of 1 lime into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of both limes into the bowl.
- **Add Marinade Ingredients:** Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the lime mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- **Mix the Marinade:** Whisk all marinade ingredients together thoroughly.
- **Marinate the Chicken:** Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
- **Cook the Chicken:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over high heat until smoking hot.
- **Sear the Chicken:** Add the marinated chicken and marinade to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender (about 8-10 minutes).
- **Add Vegetables:** Add the sliced peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- **Season and Garnish:** Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- **Assemble the Fajitas:** Warm the flour tortillas. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- **Top and Serve:** Top with guacamole, sour cream, and tomato salsa. Roll up and enjoy!
