Ingredients
-
1/4 cup orange juice
-
2 tablespoons mild taco seasoning (see Note)
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
-
1/2 onion, cut into strips
-
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
-
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
-
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
-
1 avocado, pitted and sliced, or as needed
-
1/2 cup sour cream, or as needed
-
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese, or as needed
Directions
-
Combine orange juice, taco seasoning, and vegetable oil in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
-
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
-
Cook chicken in the hot skillet for 5 minutes. Add onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook until peppers are crisp tender, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chicken strips should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Heat tortillas until soft and pliable. Top with chicken fajita mixture, avocado, sour cream, and cotija cheese. Serve immediately.
