Best Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2-1 tsp ground chili
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro optional
- 1 1/2 Lbs. chicken thighs skinless and boneless
- 3 large bell peppers cut into strips
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 2 avocados peeled, seeded, and sliced
Instructions
- In a large shallow bowl, combine lime juice, oil, garlic, cumin, salt, chili and cilantro; mix together. Add the chicken thighs and If time allows, let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or pan (12-inch | 30cm) on medium-high heat until smoking. Add a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, charred and cooked right through (about 8 minutes per side,depending on the thickness of your fillets). Flip them a couple of times while cooking so they get a nice even char.
- Transfer chicken to a warm plate, loosely tent with foil and let rest.
- Add the peppers and onions to the skillet (drizzle with a little extra oil only if needed), and cook until the onion is soft and the peppers are slightly charred and cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice chicken into strips. Serve with warmed tortillas, chopped cilantro and sliced avocado (plus your desired fillings).
