How to Make It
- Toss chicken strips with fajita seasoning.
- Sear in a hot skillet 5–6 minutes until cooked through; remove.

- Return chicken, toss together; serve with warm tortillas and toppings.
- Serve with mexican street corn on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: A screaming-hot skillet gets you those charred edges instead of steamed, sad peppers.
Swap It: Steak or shrimp work with the exact same method if you want to switch it up.
