Instructions
Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, New Mexico chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic cloves and olive oil. Set aside.
Chicken
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
- Place in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the tapioca powder and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat two tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add part of the chicken in a single layer. Sear the chicken on all sides until golden-brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
- Cook the chicken in 3-4 batches being careful not to overcrowd the pan. This way the chicken will cook evenly and get a nice sear. You may need to add more oil to the skillet before cooking each batch.
- Set the cooked chicken aside on a plate or bowl.
Assemble
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the vegetables on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until the onions and bell peppers develop a nice char. Stir frequently.
- Add the chicken back in and pour the sauce over all of the ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet (this adds so much flavor to the fajitas).
- Stir occasionally and allow everything to heat through and the sauce to thicken, about 4 minutes.
- Serve with warm tortillas, topped with salsa and sour cream and a side of Mexican red rice.
Notes
- If you are on Whole30, serve the fajitas in lettuce wraps, on top of a salad, or with a baked potato. Top with salsa or guacamole.
