For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken strips in taco seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of bell peppers (red, yellow, orange) for a more colorful presentation. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave before serving to make them more pliable. Add a squeeze of lime juice to the cooked chicken and vegetables for a burst of freshness. To make ahead, cook the chicken and vegetables and store them separately in the refrigerator. Reheat when ready to serve.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper strips; cook and stir until the onion is softened and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
02
Step
5 mins
Return the skillet to medium heat, adding more oil if needed. Add the chicken strips and sauté until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
03
Step
3 mins
Pour water into the skillet with the chicken, then add the taco seasoning mix. Stir until the seasoning dissolves evenly in the water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken and stick to the chicken, and the chicken is fully cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes.
04
StepServe the flavorful chicken and sautéed vegetables immediately in warm tortillas. Encourage everyone to customize their fajitas with their preferred toppings such as black beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, rice, salsa, etc.
