Equipment
- 1 cast iron pan
Ingredients

- 1 medium white onion sliced into strips

Notes
Here are some valuable tips to enhance your fajita taco-makin' experience:
- Marinate Overnight: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs overnight. This allows the spices to deepen and improve overall taste.
- High Heat Is Key: Searing the meat is essential. The high heat caramelizes the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use Fresh Tortillas: If possible, opt for fresh tortillas instead of packaged ones. The difference in taste and texture is significant.
- Add Variety: Don’t hesitate to try different proteins such as shrimp or even plant-based options like tempeh or marinated tofu.
- Don't Forget the Sides: Complement your tacos with homemade guacamole or fresh salsa for a more enjoyable meal.
