Ingredients

2 tbsp avocado oil or cooking oil of choice
2 bell peppers red, yellow, or orange
1 large red onion
1 clove garlic minced
1 pound chicken breasts boneless skinless, or chicken thighs, see notes
2 tbsp Fajita Seasoning
2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Serve with:

Steamed rice or tortillas of choice
sour cream
Guacamole or sliced/diced avocado
diced tomatoes or salsa
lime wedges
grated cheese we like jalapeno jack
Chipotle Aioli

Instructions

Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers and slice into 1/2" strips. Cut the strips in half lengthwise and set them aside.
Cut both ends off the onion and peel away the tough outer layer. Cut the onion in half and lay each flat side down. Cut across the rounded top to create 1/4" half-moon slices
Cube the chicken into 1" pieces and toss it with 1 tbsp of the oil and the fajita seasoning. Set it aside.
Prep your choice from the 'serve with' and set them aside. When the prep work is done, preheat a large griddle over medium-high heat or a very large non-stick skillet.
When the surface is shimmering with heat, add the remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil and sauté the peppers and onions with the minced garlic until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the chicken to the griddle or skillet and cook, stirring only as the chicken browns and turns easily. When the chicken is just done, add the freshly squeezed lime juice and cilantro.
Season to taste with salt if needed. Toss the fajita mixture to mix in the cilantro. Remove it from the griddle or skillet and serve immediately with your choice of tortillas, rice, and toppings.
