Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients.
- If you haven’t done so already, thinly slice the green peppers and onion. You can also cut the chicken thighs into thin strips. Remember, you can do this step ahead of time and freeze the veggies and meat for later use.
-
Heat the Skillet:
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Brown the Chicken:
- Once the skillet is warm, lightly spritz oil over it.
- Add the sliced chicken thighs to the skillet and brown them, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Add Veggies:
- Once the chicken is browned, add the sliced green peppers and onion to the skillet.
- You have two options here: for crunchy veggies, sauté quickly; for tender veggies, reduce the heat and simmer.
-
Add Salsa and Jalapeno (Optional):
- About 5 minutes before the cooking process is complete, stir in the salsa and jalapeno (if using). This will infuse the dish with delicious flavor and a hint of spice.
-
Assemble the Fajitas:
- Warm the tortillas either in the microwave or on a separate skillet.
- Once warmed, spoon the chicken and veggie mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top with your favorite fixings. We recommend sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar, and diced tomatoes.
- For an extra twist, you can also add Spanish rice into the tortilla along with the meat and veggies.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Chicken Fajitas immediately while warm.
- Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures with each delicious bite!
Additional Tips:
- Feel free to customize your fajitas with additional toppings such as guacamole, cilantro, or hot sauce.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or additional veggies like mushrooms and zucchini.
- These fajitas are perfect for meal prep. Simply prepare a large batch and divide into individual portions for quick and easy lunches or dinners throughout the week.
