*What are Chicken Fajitas?*


Chicken Fajitas is a dish that's made with marinated chicken, peppers, onions, and spices. The chicken is typically cooked with sliced peppers and onions, and served with warm flour or corn tortillas. Chicken Fajitas is a staple in many Mexican restaurants and is often served with a side of sour cream, salsa, and avocado.


*How to Make Chicken Fajitas*


Making Chicken Fajitas is a relatively simple process that requires just a few ingredients. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:


- *Ingredients:*

    - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

    - 1/2 cup lime juice

    - 1/4 cup olive oil

    - 2 cloves garlic, minced

    - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

    - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

    - 1 large onion, sliced

    2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

    3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

    4. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
