Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers and onion. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
2
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4
In the same bowl, add the thinly sliced chicken and toss with fajita seasoning until well coated.
5
Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken.
7
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and add the chopped cilantro. Stir everything together to combine.
8
Serve the fajitas immediately over Mexican rice or in warm flour tortillas. Top with queso blanco and serve with lime wedges on the side.
