Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Make homemade fajita seasoning by mixing 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.

Coat 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts with the fajita seasoning on both sides.

Heat a large pan on medium heat and add a couple tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil.

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes on each side until seared and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Slice 3 large bell peppers (1 yellow, 1 green, 1 red) into thin strips and slice 1 onion into thin strips.

Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and add it back to the pan with the veggies.

Squeeze half of a lime over the chicken and veggies and stir to combine.

Serve the chicken and veggie mixture in cassava flour tortillas, topped with avocado or guacamole, fresh salsa, and sour cream or cashew sour cream.
