Easy Chicken Fajitas+ Fajita seasoning recipe

These easy chicken fajitas are the perfect meal for busy weeknights. Vegetables, tortillas, and chicken for dinner…Hello? What can be easier for a weeknight meal?

Edited: Leave the lime juice for the end instead of adding it to the marinating process. See recipe for changes.

Fajitas de pollo (chicken Fajitas)

A fajita is a Tex-Mex dish that consists of grilled meat, peppers, and onions on a flour or corn tortilla, but what really makes this recipe is the combination of different spices like cumin, pepper flakes, and oregano.

I love the traditional skirt steak fajitas, but the chicken version of this dish is pretty tasty as well. To make the chicken fajitas, I like to place the chicken in a food storage bag and let the chicken marinate with the spices, the juice of one lime, and olive oil, then I  place the bag in the fridge for at least half-hour, and voila!

Once the fajitas are done, you can serve them with warm tortillas, rice, and a bunch of condiments and toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, pico de gallo salsa, etc.

Chicken Fajitas recipe:

1-All you need is about 2 lbs. of chicken breast.

2-Place the chicken in a food storage bag and pour olive oil.

3- Sprinkle with fajita seasoning.

4-Seal the bag and place it in the fridge for a half-hour or so.

6-Slice one onion and two peppers (any color)

7-In a large skillet, cook the chicken, cook the chicken for about 10 minutes.

9-Add the vegetables, let them cook with the chicken, and done!
