Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
1 onion, cut into strips
1 bell pepper, cut into strips, or more to taste
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
¼ cup water, or more to taste
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (such as Old El Paso®), or more to taste
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables to a plate.
Add chicken to the skillet, adding more oil if needed. Saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning; stir until seasoning dissolves. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken and stick to chicken, and chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve chicken and vegetables on tortillas.

EASY SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS

Easy Spicy Chicken Fajitas image

An easy, low fat chicken fajita recipe with tons of spice and flavor! I have tweaked it over the past several months and have it the way my fiance and I love it. Any of the spices can be tweaked or omitted to suit your family's preferences. Good served with Spanish or Mexican rice and chips with salsa. I feel it's bold and absolutely delicious.
