Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers and onion.
Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds.
Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the fajitas.
