Grilled Chicken and Cheddar Fajita

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 large bell peppers, sliced
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. 2Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.
3. 3Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then transfer it to a plate to rest.
4. 4Meanwhile, brush the onion and bell pepper slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then grill them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're tender and lightly charred.
5. 5Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
6. 6Assemble the fajitas by slicing the grilled chicken into thin strips and arranging it on the tortillas with the grilled onion and bell peppers, then topping with shredded cheddar cheese.
7. 7Serve the fajitas immediately, with any additional toppings or sides, such as sour cream or salsa, on the side.
8. 8Let everyone assemble their own fajitas, which makes for a fun and interactive dinner.
9. 9To add some freshness to the dish, top the fajitas with chopped cilantro or scallions, if desired.
