How to Make Tangy Chicken Fajitas
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips), 1 large bell pepper (sliced), 1 large onion (sliced), and 1/2 cup Italian dressing. Marinate for at least 20-30 minutes (longer is better!).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and vegetables to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (about 10-15 minutes) and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
- Warm tortillas according to package directions.
- Fill tortillas with the chicken fajita mixture, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
