Fajitas Seasoning – This seasoning is a flavourful blend of Cumin powder,https://amzn.to/3qVA1e5, Chili powder https://amzn.to/3iWz16N .

Ground paprika , pepper powder, salt and garlic powder. You can either make it at home or just use a store bought packet . Either ways you shall have a scrumptious Mexican meal on your table.https://amzn.to/3ces4wj

Ingredients Needed to made The Easy Chicken Fajitas –

Chicken – I prefer using chicken breasts for this recipe, however you could use thigh meat too. Hormone free and antibiotic free Chicken is what i like to use. The Easy Chicken Fajitas are made within minutes.

Fajitas Seasoning – As previously mentioned , using a store bought seasoning is absolutely ok . Do not beat yourself up making everything from scratch . In case you want to make the seasoning at home and store it you can make a quick mix of – cumin powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Smoked paprika , salt, Oregano. A tablespoon of all except salt Dry mix all and store them .

Mince garlic- Garlic adds a layer of depth . You could even use garlic powder if you have it lying in the pantry. I prefer using fresh cloves either minced or sliced.

Hot Sauce – We like a little Zing in our Chicken Fajitas. Its a totally optional thing, just incase you want to add that extra kick. Do add the hot sauce or else you can totally avoid it.

Onions – Sliced onions be it red , yellow or any kinds from the pantry works well. Just Slice them and add them to the Instant pot , no sautéing needed. Dump and Go recipe.

Peppers – Slice Red , Yellow , Green peppers and add them to the mix in the Instant Pot along with Onions , Chicken and fajita Seasoning.

Instructions on making the Fajitas in the Instant pot.

Fajitas are traditionally made on the Stovetop grill , or an open grill. Making them in the Instant pot saves a tonne of time and makes them flavourful too.

Instant pot Fajitas are almost a dump and go recipe , making it your family favourite Weeknight or Weekday meal .

Switch on the Instant pot on pressure cook mode and dunk in the Chicken breasts ( you can use Boneless chicken thighs too ).
Next to this add the home made or store bought Fajita seasoning to the Chicken .
Now its time to add minced garlic adding a hint of fresh flavours.
Dunk in the sliced onions ( any kinds from your pantry Red, yellow , white ) .
Also add the Sliced peppers again all colours work well. Green , Red , yellow , orange. I like to add all colours to give the dish a colourful Mexican feel.
Add Broth or Water just enough to build pressure. Pressure cook for 10 to 12 minutes . Shred the cooked Chicken into bite size pieces. Layer the tortillas with lettuce ( cabbage will do too!) Chicken , Guacamole or sliced avocado and relish the taste of Mexico.

Pro tips –

Frozen Chicken can be used to make these Easy Chicken Fajitas. The Cook time however shall increase from 10 minutes to 18 minutes.
Incase you are worried that the peppers and onions will get Mushy , you can Sauté these first and keep them aside . Add them when the chicken is cooked . This way you can retain the crunch and colour too.
Making the chicken fajitas over a stove top ? Absolutely ! Sauté the onions and peppers till soft along with a tsp of oil. Add the sliced Chicken.
