Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning
- black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar or Monterrey jack
- flour tortillas, burrito-sized preferably, but the regular size is fine
- Sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, and guacamole or avocado crema serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Season chicken breast slices with a tablespoon of fajita seasoning, olive oil, salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat a tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes until browned and crispy on the bottom. Turn over and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and then add the bell pepper, onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
4. Add garlic and cook an additional minute, but be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Stir in the remaining fajita seasoning mix along with 1/4 cup of water and black beans. Simmer for 4-5 minutes.
6. Stir everything well and add the chicken back with any accumulated juices. Cook for 2 minutes and then remove from heat.
7. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds.
8. To assemble the fajita wraps, place some shredded cheese and chicken/veggie mixture in an even layer in the middle of the tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro.
Notes
You can certainly omit the beans but we love them in our house.
