In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, water, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and half the salt.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with two-thirds of the olive oil. Season the chicken strips with the remaining salt and sear until golden and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Done when cooked through, 165°F.
Add the remaining oil to the same skillet. Add the bell pepper and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred at the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the fajita sauce over the mixture and toss for 1 minute until the sauce has coated the chicken and vegetables. Garnish with cilantro.
