Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– Juice of 2 limes

– 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced to about half-inch thickness

– 2 red bell peppers

– 1 yellow bell pepper

– 1 green bell pepper

– 1 large onion, quartered

– 8 to 10 flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

1-Prepare the vegetables: by cutting the 2 red bell peppers, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 green bell pepper in half, then remove the tops, seeds, and membranes for easy grilling.

2-Preheat your grill: to medium heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking, setting the stage for that perfect char.

3-Take the chicken out of the marinade, discard any excess, and place the chicken, peppers, and the 1 large quartered onion on the grill.

4-Grill everything for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken hits an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (74ยฐC) and the veggies get tender and slightly charred.

5-Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling to keep it juicy, then warm the 8 to 10 flour or corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side.

6-Finally, slice the chicken, peppers, and onions into strips and serve them up in the warmed tortillas for a fresh, hot meal that serves 6.
