Instructions
Making Chipotle Chicken Fajita is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sliced chicken and chipotle seasoning. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and mix until well-coated.
2. Marinate: Let the chicken marinate for about 10-30 minutes for maximum flavor, or proceed immediately if short on time.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the veggies. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend flavors.
7. Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the flour tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
8. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the fajita mixture immediately with warm tortillas and desired toppings.
