In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken breast, one tablespoon olive oil, juice of half a lime and the fajita seasoning spices. Toss the chicken until it's evenly coated in the oil and spices. If you have the time, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium high in a large non-stick heavy bottomed or cast iron skillet.
Add half of the chicken strips and cook until just cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set chicken aside in a bowl or on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add sliced onion and cook for 2 minutes.
Add in sliced peppers and cook an additional 2-4 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add chicken back to the pan and toss to combine.
Squeeze additional lime juice over the mixture.
Serve warm over tortillas with desired toppings.
