Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of each olive oil, lemon juice and Chicken Fajita Seasoning. Add the chicken strips and stir well so that they are all coated with the marinade. Put the covered bowl in the fridge and let the chicken marinate for at least half an hour, better 1 - 4 hours.
- Prepare the Pico de Gallo according to my instructions. Let the Pico de Gallo marinate for at least 15 minutes, better several hours in the refrigerator.
- Cut the vegetables and put them aside. Put the sliced lettuce in an extra bowl and store it in the fridge.
- Prepare the Guacamole Dip according to my recipe and put it covered in the refrigerator until use.
- Preheat a large cast-iron ***** with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes at high to medium heat.
- Add the vegetables and cook with the meat over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes until the vegetables have a tender-crisp texture or to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to your own taste.
- Warm up the tortillas and fill them with all your fajita filling within the centre. I do it this way: First, Guacamole Dip as a base, then lettuce, Pico de Gallo and finally the chicken and veggie fajita mixture.
- Fold in half or gently fold over one side of your tortilla into the middle fold over the other side of the tortilla into the middle.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken and vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the chicken from becoming tough.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Cook the chicken over high heat until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Add the vegetables to the skillet along with the chicken and cook until they are tender. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as they should still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the fajitas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
