2.5lb chicken breast

Chicken Marinade:
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
Black pepper
1 tbsp salt
Vegetable oil
Juice of ½ lime
1 onion
3 bell peppers (red, green, yellow)

• Place sliced chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
• Drizzle with vegetable oil and squeeze in the juice of half a lime.
• Toss everything together to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Slice the onion and set it aside in a bowl.
• Remove the ribs from the bell peppers and julienne them. Place the sliced peppers in a separate bowl.
• Finely chop the cilantro and set it aside for garnishing.
• Heat a large skillet or pan over high heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil.
• In batches, sear the marinated chicken until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
• Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
• In the same pan (do not clean it to keep the flavors), add a bit more oil and sauté the onions and bell peppers.
• Season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of fajita seasoning, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until slightly softened and seared.
• Add the seared chicken and any juices back to the pan with the vegetables.
• Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
• Stir in two tablespoons of the chopped cilantro.
• On warm flour tortillas, spread a thin layer of sour cream.
• Add the chicken fajita mixture and top with chopped lettuce, salsa roja, pickled jalapeños, and crumbled Cotija cheese as desired.
• Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
