Chicken Fajitas

The story behind

I absolutely love making fajitas because they are the definition of a cheerful, fuss-free meal. This recipe is rooted in Tex-Mex culture, where the whole point is to share and build your own tacos just the way you like them. To me, this is the ultimate weekend lunch when you want something fresh that still hits the spot. It's best served right in the middle of the table with plenty of warm tortillas, fresh guacamole, and a spicy salsa. If you're wondering about drinks, a cold chia lemonade or a crisp lager with a squeeze of lime is the perfect match. It's one of those dishes that naturally brings people together for a good chat.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika to lock in the flavor.
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a large skillet and toss in the chicken; cook until golden brown and juicy.
  3. 3
    Remove the chicken briefly and throw the onion and peppers into the same pan; sauté until tender but still vibrant.
  4. 4
    Bring the chicken back in, squeeze the lime juice over everything, toss for a couple of minutes, and it's ready to serve!
