How To Make chicken fajitas

Step 1

Combine the chicken, lime juice and zest, fajita seasoning, garlic, and cilantro into a big resealable bag and refrigerate for about 3-4 hours at the most.

Step 2

Over medium-medium high heat, cook chicken in a cast iron or stainless steel pan with a little oil. When cooked through with nice color on both sides, remove from skillet and let rest.
Step 3

In the same skillet, add onions and peppers. Saute until the veggies cooked but are still a little firm. Add the chicken (sliced) to the veggies and serve on warm tortillas with cheese and sour cream.
