Instructions

1. 1Whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this marinade in a separate container. Place the chicken breast in a large ziplock bag, pour the remaining marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours).
2. 2Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook without moving for 5 minutes until the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for 3–5 minutes more until no longer pink inside and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
4. 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, portobello mushrooms, and onion, and cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender with light browning on the edges.
5. 5While the vegetables cook, slice the cooled chicken breast into thin strips against the grain.
6. 6Add the chicken strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low, drizzle with the reserved marinade, and stir gently to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until warmed through and coated evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. 7Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Store the flour tortillas separately in a sealed bag.
8. 8To serve, warm a tortilla over medium heat for 30 seconds per side and fill with the chicken fajita mixture.
