How to Make Austin Chicken Fajitas

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Remove any excess fat from 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable bag. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even marinating.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips.
  8. While the chicken rests, grill sliced onions and bell peppers (about 1 large onion and 2 bell peppers, any color) until softened and slightly charred.
  9. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas, salsa, guacamole, grilled onions and peppers, and shredded cheese.
