Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the onions and bell peppers to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the chicken, 1/2 of the fajita seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
  • Return the onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Add the remaining 1/2 of the fajita seasoning and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the lime juice and cilantro to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Serve with the tortillas and desired accompaniments.

2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 onions, sliced
2 bell peppers, sliced
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch-long strips
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning mix or 1 tablespoon, for extra spice
Kosher salt
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Warmed flour tortillas, for serving
Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes and/or shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the sliced onions and red peppers, and cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomato juice and taco seasoning, and mix well. Cook mixture until the juice has thickened and the chicken is well coated with sauce, about an additional 7 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa over each slice of French bread. Evenly spoon the chicken mixture on top of the salsa topped bread. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Place sandwiches under the preheated broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
