INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, add the mango, jalapeño, red onion, juice from 1 lime and cilantro. Toss until combined and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the ancho chile powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground cayenne pepper, onion powder and salt. Add the chicken strips and the spice mixture; toss until the chicken is thoroughly combined.

In a medium sauté pan, heat the coconut oil over moderately high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping the chicken at the 2-minute mark. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate; cover the plate with foil to keep warm while you cook the remainder of the dish. Adding a tablespoon more of coconut oil, if needed, sauté the sliced red bell pepper and red onion for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions have softened.

Serve family style or to assemble individual fajitas, add a few strips of chicken to the center of a tortilla, top with the onion and bell pepper mixture and a few scoops of mango salsa.
