Step 1
Combine orange juice, taco seasoning, and vegetable oil in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze
out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
Step 3
Cook chicken in the hot skillet for 5 minutes. Add onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook until peppers are crisp
tender, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chicken strips should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 4
Heat tortillas until soft and pliable. Top with chicken fajita mixture, avocado, sour cream, and cotija cheese. Serve immediately.
