Simple Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless & skinless
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice fresh
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cup spanish onion or white onion sliced
  • 1 cup pepper red, green, orange, yellow, sliced
  • small flour tortillas

Instructions

  • In a plastic zip up bag combine chili powder, oregano, salt, cumin, garlic, lime juice, and a little oil. Seal bag and smoosh to combine flavours. Add chicken and smoosh to get the flavours into the chicken. Refrigerate for a minimum 15 minutes or longer if you have time.
  • Put your onions and peppers in a bowl. Pour on a little oil and season with salt, pepper and a little cumin.
  • Take chicken out of marinade and drain. Put on greased BBQ and grill approximately 6-7 minutes per side on med-high until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest under cover.
  • Meanwhile on a preheated BBQ grill topper, stove top grill pan or saute pan, add a splash of oil and your onion and peppers. Give it a little more s&p and saute for about 4-5 minutes or until veggies tender crisp. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat up your flour tortillas (10 seconds in microwave, or toss on grill), slice your chicken, plate all your fixings family style and serve on the table.

Notes
