Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and dried basil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Add the seasoned chicken strips to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

05

Step

Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

06

Step

Serve immediately on warm tortillas with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. (Serve time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the fajitas, such as sliced mushrooms, zucchini, or poblano peppers.
To keep the tortillas warm, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Serve with a side of rice and beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
