Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 flour tortillas, warmed
• Lime wedges, fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa for serving

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and half of the spice mixture, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over the vegetables. Sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
5. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture immediately with warmed flour tortillas and your favorite toppings such as lime wedges, fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa.

These chicken fajitas are not only packed with flavor but also with colorful veggies and protein. Wrap them up in a soft tortilla and enjoy a little fiesta on a plate any night of the week!
