Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil divided
1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
1 large white onion halved and sliced
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning mix
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1½ lbs trimmed and sliced into bite-sized pieces
40 to rtilla chips
2 cups Mexican cheese
Jalapeno pepper optional
Salsa optional
Guacamole optional
Sour cream optional

Instructions

Add 1½ tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the peppers and onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and begin to get brown spots. Transfer the vegetable to a large bowl and set it aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet along with the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the seasoning and water and then add to the chicken and stir to coat. Add in the lime juice and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until the slurry has thickened on the chicken.
Arrange the tortilla chips on a medium baking pan with a rim. Top with the vegetables and chicken, then sprinkle the cheese over the top and broil for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is bubbly.
Add toppings like peppers, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream to the nachos or serve on the side.
