Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil together with lime juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, cilantro, and cumin in a medium bowl. Add chicken, toss gently, and set aside.
2. Wrap stacked tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm.
3. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and saute until charred and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. After 7 minutes, add garlic, salt, and pepper and toss. Add the chicken and marinade to the skillet and warm through, 5 minutes.
4. To serve, arrange toppings in small bowls, wrap the tortillas in a towel, transfer the chicken mixture to a warm platter, and let diners create their own fajitas.
