Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for chicken fajitas cooked entirely in one skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) fajita seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken strips to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add sliced onion and bell peppers to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning mix over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  6. Pour in the water. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions just before serving.
  8. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the seasoning mix.
  • If you prefer, use skirt steak or shrimp instead of chicken.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.
