Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes juiced
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts about ½-inch thick
2 red bell peppers
1 yellow bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 large onion quartered
8 to 10 flour tortillas I use low carb tortillas

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning; whisk to combine. Pour the marinade into a large Ziploc bag.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to an hour.
In the meantime, cut the peppers in half and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
Clean the grill grates, then lightly oil the grill grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken, peppers, and onions on the grill.
Cook, turning the chicken, peppers, and onions occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and the veggies are tender; about 15 to 20 minutes. The chicken is done when its internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
Remove the chicken, peppers, and onions from the grill, and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, warm the tortillas on the grill for a minute per side.
Cut the chicken, peppers, and onions into strips and serve.
