Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 small red onion, julienned
- 6 sprigs cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 small head romaine, split lengthwise
Preparation
Combine garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, chipotle chili powder, and brown sugar in a work bowl, then season chicken with the mixture.
Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. As oil begins to smoke, place seasoned chicken into sauté pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest until cool enough to chop.
Add red bell pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until tender. Place warm pepper and onion mix in a work bowl, then add chopped chicken. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper and toss until ingredients are evenly mixed and coated.
Top each romaine half with equal portions of fajita mixture, garnish with additional cilantro, and serve.
