🌮🔥 Happy Taco Tuesday, Fam!

We’re basically cartwheeling into this week knowing Memorial Day Weekend is sitting right around the corner. Backyard speakers? Ice-cold margaritas? Grill smoke floating through the neighborhood? Yeah… summer is officially stretching awake. ☀️🍹

Stay tuned because we’re dropping the ultimate MDW backyard BBQ lineup later this week, and trust us, your grill is about to earn overtime pay. 🔥🌭

But first? Fajita night.

🌮 Smoky skillet chicken fajitas loaded with charred peppers, juicy citrus-marinated chicken, and sizzling Tex-Mex energy. The kind of weeknight dinner that somehow disappears faster than the tortilla basket.

Best served with warm tortillas, extra lime, and spicy margaritas within arm’s reach. 🍹✨

MARINADE:
2 lbs chicken breast or thighs, sliced
1/4 cup avocado oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
Juice of half orange (about ¼ cup)
Juice of 1 lime

SKILLET:
2 tbsp avocado oil (for searing)
1 yellow onion, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 fajita Cholula seasoning packet
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro + diced white onion (I just bought the mix from the store)

1️⃣ Whisk together all the marinade goodness, toss in the sliced chicken, and let it soak up the flavor fiesta for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Running late? Same. Even 15 minutes still brings serious sizzle energy. 🌶️🍋

2️⃣ Heat oil in a big cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the marinated chicken and let it get golden, smoky, and irresistible. Cook until almost done, then pull it out and set aside. 🔥🍗

3️⃣ In that same skillet, toss in the onions with a little salt + pepper so they soften and get all sweet and jammy. Add the bell peppers, hit everything with fajita seasoning, and cook until tender with just enough char. 🌈🫑

4️⃣ Slide the chicken back into the skillet, toss in chopped cilantro and diced onion, then let the whole pan party together for 2 to 3 more minutes until everything smells like your favorite Tex-Mex spot. 🌮✨

5️⃣ Load up tortillas, squeeze over lime, and prepare for absolutely zero leftovers. Save us a plate if your crew doesn’t inhale it first. 🍹🔥
