ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch strips
1 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut in 1/4-inch strips
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1/4-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1/4-inch strips
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
8 (6-inch size) flour tortillas

Optional Toppings

pico de gallo
salsa
shredded cheese
sour cream
guacamole

directions

Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.

Combine the chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the chicken strips to the bag and shake to coat the chicken. Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off any excess spices, and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes.

Add the bell pepper strips to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are soft and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the mixture with the lime juice and mix well.

Heat the tortillas as directed on the package. Assemble the fajitas with the chicken and vegetable mixture and any desired toppings.
