Fajitas are a Tex-Mex dish that combines succulent chicken with tender veggies, tortillas and condiments – they are oh simple to prepare. In this recipe I am using chicken breast and tasty spices for traditional flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs (680g) chicken breast (no bones or skin)
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Cooking spray, as needed
  • 1 package warmed flour tortillas, to serve
  • Sour cream, shredded cheese and salsa, to serve

Instructions

  1. Blend the onion and garlic powders with the salt, pepper, chili, cayenne, paprika and cumin.
  2. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry, then arrange it on a pan and spray with cooking oil.
  3. Rub in the spice rub.
  4. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  5. Preheat the barbeque.
  6. Cut the onion and bell peppers into ¼ inch thick strips.
  7. Heat a skillet over a medium to high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
  8. Add the vegetables with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  9. Cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
  10. Cook the chicken on the barbecue for 6 minutes.
  11. Flip it over.
  12. Cook for another 6 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  13. Let it sit for 5 minutes on a cutting board, then cut it into strips.
  14. If preferred, cook the chicken on the stove until no pink remains in the middle.
  15. Serve the chicken and vegetables with warmed flour tortillas.
  16. Offer shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa on the side.

Notes

You can use any color bell pepper you want. I typically use some red and some yellow. Green is less sweet but maybe you prefer it.
