Instructions

  • Slice chicken breasts into ½-inch strips against the grain to keep them tender when cooked.
  • Toss chicken, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic together in a large bowl.
  • Pour over olive oil, chili powder, salt, and all spices; mix well so everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread the mix out on a large sheet pan and bake in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for caramelization.
  • Transfer cooked chicken and veggies into the pressure cooker pot. Lock the lid and ensure the float valve is down before setting to high pressure.
  • Set the timer for 5 minutes and wait for the pressure to build. Once done, do a quick release to stop cooking.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice and sprinkle chopped cilantro over everything before serving.
  • Warm tortillas in the oven or on a skillet to make them pliable for wrapping the chicken and veggies.

Notes

Serve the fajitas with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, pico de gallo, or shredded cheese for added flavor and texture.
