Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into small strips
  • 2 cloves finely crushed garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1 tsp freshly crushed pepper
  • The juice from 1 lime
  • Salt to season
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper de-seeded and sliced
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in the crushed garlic, cumin powder, cayenne powder, pepper, lime juice and salt for about 2 hours in the refrigerator. (The longer you leave it in the marinate, the more flavorful the strips will be)
  2. After two hours or later, put 2 tbsps oil in the fajita pan and gently put the chicken strips into the same to cook. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Once done, take the chicken out and set aside. Now add that remaining 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and saute the onions and green peppers for about 3-5 minutes, ensuring the same is lightly cooked and still crunchy.
  4. Add to this the chicken and mix well.
  5. Your chicken fajitas are ready to be dressed in a delicious taco!
