3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the fajitas

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into ½-inch strips
2 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 medium yellow onion, halved and sliced into ¼-inch half-rings

For serving

8 gluten free tortillas (6-inch)
1 lime, cut into wedges
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
½ cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, whisk together the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips, seal or cover, and turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
2
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Pat the chicken strips lightly with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
