Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 flour tortillas
• Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a sealable plastic bag.
4. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the chicken until well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
5. Meanwhile, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
6. Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the bag and discard the excess marinade.
7. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
8. Brush the grill grates with oil, then grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
9. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into thin strips.
10. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a warm skillet for a minute on each side.
11. To assemble the fajitas, place a few slices of chicken and a spoonful of sautéed bell peppers and onions onto each tortilla. Top with your desired toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro.
12. Roll up the tortilla tightly and enjoy these mouthwatering grilled chicken fajitas!
