Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (if you have a microwave, you can skip this step!) Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the @red onion{1%unit}. Dice the remaining half. Finely dice the @jalapeno{1%unit}, removing the seeds and ribs if you prefer less heat. Core, seed, and dice the @tomato{1%unit}. Halve the @lime{1%unit}. Finely chop the @cilantro{¼%oz}. Core, seed, and remove the white ribs from the @red bell pepper{1%unit}, then thinly slice. Slice the @chicken breasts{2%unit} into thin strips.

Make the pico de gallo: in a #small bowl{}, combine the tomatoes, half the cilantro, half the diced onion, a squeeze of lime, and jalapeno (to taste). Season with salt and pepper.

Make the guacamole: halve, peel, and pit the @avocado{1%unit}. Scoop it into a small bowl mash with the remaining cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and as much remaining diced onion and jalapeno as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat @olive oil{1.5%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper and cook, tossing, ~{5%minutes}, until soft. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Wrap the @flour tortillas{4%unit} in foil and place in the oven to warm for ~{5%minutes}. Alternately, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for ~{30%seconds} after step 6.

In the same pan you cooked the vegetables in, heat ½ tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until browned, ~{3%minutes}. Once cooked, add the peppers, onions, @chili powder{½%tsp}, and a squeeze of lime to the pan. Cook ~{30%seconds}, until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Now for the fun part! Assemble fajitas with the tortillas, chicken mixture, pico de gallo, guacamole, and @sour cream{2%oz}. Enjoy!
