Preparation

Slice the chicken breasts into strips.
Deseed and slice the bell peppers.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Slice the avocado and brush with lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
Roughly chop the coriander.

Cooking

Preheat the oven to its lowest setting and place a baking tray inside to warm.
Coat the chicken strips with 2 tbsp of sunflower oil and fajita seasoning.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Toast the tortillas on the skillet until they have grill marks, about 1-2 mins per side, then keep warm.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and fry the peppers and onion until slightly charred and softened, about 8-10 mins.
Transfer to the warm tray in the oven.
Cook the chicken on the hot skillet until charred and cooked through, about 5-6 mins, turning once.

Plating & Serving

Serve the cooked chicken with the charred peppers and onions in the warmed tortillas.
Garnish with avocado slices and coriander.
Offer sour cream, salsa, grated Cheddar, jalapeños, and lime wedges on the side for custom toppings.
