1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the sliced chicken breast in a medium bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over it. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave according to package instructions.
Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Garnish each fajita with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately.
