Here is a basic recipe to prepare chipotle chicken fajitas:

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
• 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (you can adjust according to your spiciness preference)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, julienned
• 1 red pepper, cut into strips
• 1 green pepper, cut into strips
• Corn or flour tortillas, to serve
• Optional garnishes: guacamole, sour cream, grated cheese, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix the chicken strips with the chipotle sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight for best flavors.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and add the julienned onion and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine everything. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to let the flavors blend.

Heat corn or flour tortillas according to package directions. Serve the Chipotle Chicken Fajitas hot, accompanied by optional garnishes such as guacamole, sour cream, grated cheese, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
