1. Preparation: Slice the bell peppers and refrigerate.
2. Slice the onions and place in a large zip-loc bag. Add the rest of the ingredients for the marinade and squish around to distribute. Place the bag into a 9x9 inch baking dish (or something similar) and add the chicken, making sure to distribute the ingredients so they are dispersed evenly. I use my fingers and toss a few onions around and move a few clumps of cilantro so each piece of chicken has some of each. Refrigerate over-night.
3. Chicken: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, remove from the marinade. Grill the chicken and let it rest while you cook the vegetables.
4. Charred Vegetables: Remove the onions from the marinade and add them to the sliced bell peppers. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and toss to coat. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and turn on the ventilation. When the skillet begins to smoke, add half of the onions and peppers. Stir occasionally and remove when charred in parts and the onions are cooked through. You may need to lower the heat on the pan to reduce smoking. Add the remaining vegetables and repeat. If you opted for more veggies, you may need to do three batches so that the vegetables char and don't steam.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12" skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the bell peppers and sprinkle with the reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons of fajita seasonings. If you like the peppers with a nice crunch - cook for about 3-5 minutes. And if you like them softer, leave them on for about 3 minutes longer. Transfer and set aside on a plate.
