0 of 8 done
  1. Step 1: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season them with chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Thinly slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the cooked vegetables and add the chicken back into the pan. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Finely chop the fresh coriander and sprinkle it over the fajita mixture. Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.
  7. Step 7: Prepare a quick guacamole by mashing the avocado with a fork and mixing it with the juice of the remaining half lime, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped tomato.
  8. Step 8: Serve the chicken fajita mixture with the guacamole on the side. Garnish with extra fresh coriander if desired.
