Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Make the salsa: Add all ingredients (except the tortilla chips) to a blender and pulse until combined (don’t over-blend or it will be more like a smoothie than salsa). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent and peppers are tender.
  • Add in the chicken, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is nicely browned and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) using a thermometer.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Warm the taco shells on both sides.
  • Stir together all ingredients for the mojito until well combined. Taste and adjust the lime or honey as needed. Serve over ice if desired.
  • Serve the fajita with soft taco shells, chips and salsa, and mojito.
