Description
Indulge in flavorful Chicken Fajitas with Extra Cheese, a quick and easy Tex-Mex delight that your family will love.
Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: Tender and juicy, sliced into strips for quick cooking.
- Bell Peppers: Use a variety of colors (red, yellow, green) for sweetness and crunch.
- Onion: Adds a savory flavor and nice texture when sautéed.
- Olive Oil: For cooking; adds flavor and helps with browning.
- Taco Seasoning: A blend of spices that brings out the best flavor in the chicken and veggies.
- Shredded Cheese: Extra cheesy goodness—use your favorite cheese for melting.
- Flour Tortillas: Soft wraps perfect for holding everything together, or use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, and taco seasoning. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and veggie mixture to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture. Cover for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave briefly to soften them.
- Serve the cheesy chicken and peppers in the tortillas, and top with your favorite garnishes.
Notes
- Marinate the Chicken: For an even more flavorful dish, marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking, or overnight if possible.
- Use Fresh Veggies: Freshly sliced bell peppers and onions will provide the best flavors and textures.
- Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to mix cheeses like Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Pepper Jack for varying flavors.
