Talk about Mexican food and the first thing that would pop in your head would be Fajitas. Traditionally made with beef steak, these days, it is also prepared with marinated chicken strips.
I took this recipe to cook just because I love bell peppers. You wouldn't be surprised if you find me admiring the colorful bell peppers stacked neatly in a super-market.
Aren't they a treat to the eyes?
Chicken Fajitas are prepared by grilling the marinated chicken strips and vegetables. They are usually served in tortillas with yogurt and other spicy condiments.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste/powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- 200 gms Boneless Chicken cut into strips
- ½ medium red bell pepper julienned
- ½ medium yellow bell pepper julienned
- ½ medium green bell pepper julienned
- ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup Onion thinly sliced
Servings:
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken strips with 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice and seasonings for a minimum of two hours.
- In a non-stick pan, saute peppers and onions in remaining oil for a couple of minutes. Do not cook until too soft. Retain the crispiness of the veggies. Remove.
- Cook the chicken strips over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until no longer pink. Add the cooked vegetables to the pan and saute for another couple of mins.
- Done! Spoon the filling onto the tortillas.

Never had fajitas. But am a big fan of bellpeppers and have regularly used them while making pasta or macaroni :D.

Sadly, I cannot stand bell peppers. I know how pretty they look, but anything remotely linked to a capsicum gives me a migraine!
I've had chicken fajitas without them though and have absolutely loved it! Extra spice always does it for me 🙂

Another yummy recipe. Fajitas remind me of Friend's episode when Ross tries to cook some.

These spicy chicken fajitas take barely any time and require only a cast-iron skillet. Oh, and they're great too!It’s loaded with crispy chicken, fresh veggies, and wonderful. It’s utterly delicious.
