Instructions

In a gallon size ziploc freezer bag, combine avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to mix.
Add sliced chicken strips and peppers to the bag, pressing out excess air before sealing. Lay flat on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, remove the baking sheet and store in the freezer until use (up to 3 months).
When planning to use, thaw freezer bag chicken fajitas in the refrigerator overnight.
Stovetop: Sear in a hot skillet or grill pan until cooked through, about 7 minutes, and the internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the chicken fajita mixture out in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve with gluten-free tortillas or over rice.
