Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large green bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large white onion halved and sliced
- 2 Tablespoons fajita seasoning mix
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ lbs trimmed and sliced into bite-sized pieces)
- 40 tortilla chips
- 2 cups Mexican cheese
- Additional Toppings - jalapeno pepper, salsa, guacamole, sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Add 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the peppers and onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and begin to get brown spots. Transfer the vegetable to a large bowl and set it aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet along with the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the seasoning and water and then add to the chicken and stir to coat. Add in the lime juice and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until the slurry has thickened on the chicken.
- Arrange the tortilla chips on a medium baking pan with a rim. Top with the vegetables and chicken, then sprinkle the cheese over the top and broil for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is bubbly.
- Add toppings like peppers, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream to the nachos or serve on the side.
