We know how hard it can be to get yourself to cook dinner. After a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is get up off the couch to cook over a hot stove. But, an easy recipe makes the task of dinner at least a bit easier. This Chicken Fajita Skillet is a one-pan effort that takes tender chicken and mixes it with fajita vegetables. Garnish your skillet with avocado, lime, and cilantro before serving hot out of the oven.

What is in Fajita Seasoning?

Fajita seasoning is that aromatic blend of spices which forms the flavor base for this beloved dish. The core of the blend is typically chili powder and cumin for spice. These are then complemented by smoked paprika for a rich, smoky undertone and a vibrant red color. Other essential ingredients include garlic powder and onion powder for a savory base, while a touch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes can be added for extra heat. A bit of oregano or dried cilantro and a hint of salt and black pepper usually round out the mix.
