- 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
- 2 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced

Instructions
- If you have a tortilla cast iron skillet, place it in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Otherwise, have a serving dish ready for the hot fajita mixture.
- In a large skillet over high heat, brown the bell peppers in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, caramelize the onions in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of oil and the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside with the peppers.
- In the same skillet, sear the chicken in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the reserved vegetables back into the pan. Add the spices. Continue cooking for about 1 minute while stirring. Adjust the seasoning.
- Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and place on a wooden board. Serve immediately in the centre of the table with the toppings placed in separate bowls. Let the guests garnish their own tortillas.
