How to Cook 30 Minute Chicken Fajitas

  • STEP 1.Start by slicing the chicken into strips and the vegetables (bell peppers and onion) into thin slices. This helps everything cook evenly and quickly.
  • STEP 1.Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it heat up, then toss in the chicken strips. Sprinkle the chicken fajita seasoning over the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  • STEP 2.Once the chicken is ready, add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the pan. Stir everything together, ensuring the vegetables cook evenly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender but still a little crisp.
  • STEP 3.Add lime juice for a zesty kick and give everything a final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • STEP 4.Warm your tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the fajita filling on the tortillas and top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cheese. Roll them up, and you’re ready to dig in!

Frequently asked questions

How can I store leftover chicken fajitas?

Store any leftover fajitas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To keep everything fresh, separate the tortillas from the chicken and veggies. When reheating, warm the chicken and veggies in a skillet, and serve with fresh tortillas.

Can I customize this recipe for a gluten-free diet?

Absolutely! Swap the flour tortillas for gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps to keep it light and gluten-free. The chicken and veggies are naturally gluten-free, making this a great choice for anyone with dietary restrictions.

What’s the best way to add flavor without making it too spicy?

To enhance the flavor without overwhelming the dish with heat, try adding a little extra lime juice, a sprinkle of cumin, or some fresh cilantro. These additions bring freshness and depth to the fajitas, making them flavorful but not too fiery.
