Steps

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2In a large, oven-proof skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat.
3Add the sliced peppers and onion. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
4Reserve 1 tbsp of the fajita seasoning and sprinkle the rest over the peppers and onion. Continue cooking, stirring often, for about 4 minutes more.
5In a medium-sized bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with the reserved fajita seasoning and add it to the skillet. Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies and cook for a couple more minutes, stirring occasionally.
6Turn off the heat, then stir in the lime juice, followed by the tortilla strips. Make sure everything is well mixed, then sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
