Reasons You'll Love It

These tacos are full of bold flavors and juicy chicken that cooks quickly. They are perfect for a busy weeknight but tasty enough to serve at a casual gathering. The combination of spices and fresh vegetables makes every bite exciting.

Helpful Kitchen Tips

- Use a hot skillet to get a nice sear on the chicken for extra flavor.
- Slice the vegetables evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Let the chicken rest a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, and do the same with the onion.

Step 2

Mix together your taco seasoning in a small bowl.

Step 3

Toss the chicken strips with the taco seasoning and a tablespoon of cooking oil, making sure everything is well coated.

Step 4

Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it’s nicely browned.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions and capsicum to the pan, sprinkle a bit more taco seasoning on top, and cook everything together for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are just tender.

Step 6

Warm up the tortilla wraps, then spread a little tomato ketchup on each. Layer on some lettuce, followed by the cooked chicken and veggies. Top with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.

Step 7

Serve your fajita tacos with lemon slices on the side for a fresh squeeze of flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm tortillas, a squeeze of fresh lime, and your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. A side of Mexican rice or beans makes the meal complete and satisfying.

How To Store Leftovers

Store any leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the meat, and keep tortillas separate to maintain their texture.
