This fajita recipe is probably the most fuss free and easy fajita recipe you’ll ever come by. After all there are only 4 ingredients: Bell pepper, onion, chicken, and seasoning. I like to make my fajitas in a cast iron but you can always make it in a regular pan as well. If you prefer not to use store bought fajita seasoning, you can always make your own.
Here is a great recipe for homemade fajita seasoning from Mexicanfood.com.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp olive oil
1 package fajita mix
1 1/2 lb chicken
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1/2 medium onion
Directions:
1. Slice the bell peppers and onion and set aside.
2. Cut the chicken breast into strips and place in a bowl. Add the fajita seasoning into the chicken and stir to combine.
3. In a large cast iron, heat olive oil over high heat and cook the chicken strips until fully cooked. (About 6-8 minutes)
4. Remove the chicken from the cast iron and set aside. Then add in the sliced onions. Cook the onions until they become translucent.
5. Add in the bell peppers and cook them for about 4 minutes.
6. Place the cooked chicken back into the cast iron and cook with the bell peppers and onions for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Place the chicken and bell peppers into a flour tortilla and serve with sour cream.
